I bought my 1973 Super glide in 1975. Well I took it from a guy that was short on money he owed me. Funny thing was I didnt want it ,I was building high performace Hondas and thought the harley was a cement mixer. I rode it around the block the first 1/4 of the block I wanted to get off and push it back and the remainder of the block changed everything. It is hard to talk about how good it is but a ride is all I needed. I know have a 2002 Flh and put 9000 on last year and can't imagin not haveing one. I would like to add on a Super glide with about 120 cu in. Bye Don over and out>>>

 

Exceeded all expectations! Every ride is like it's brand new!

 

I was like everyone else excited about my first bike and I had high expectations, which were wildly exceeded. It's all good.

 

I knew I would really enjoy getting my own Harley after renting them a couple times a year for three or four years, but I had no idea it would have exceeded my expectations as much as it has.

I have owned several bikes over the last thirty five years , and have loved them all, like friends, but the love I have for my Harley is more like the love I have for my kids...Of course I do love my kids more....most of the time

 

I'm thinking that some of you have really missed something... Not many of you have had the pleasure of kicking a Harley to life on a cold morning when your late for work.... My first was a '71 XLCH from the AMF era when dependability was not a selling point....

Now I own too many.... '94 FLSTC, '02 FLSTC and '07 FLHX

 

I think that a new motorcycle should idle when you buy it. I think the dealer could sell me the 5 dollar carb jet instead of trying to force the stage one on me for a bike that won't idle when brand new. I still have the bike and I like riding it but I will not buy another new harley because the dealers treat everyone like their stupid.

 

Sorry to hear that...I guess it all depends on the dealer.

 

First Harley was a 1980 FXEF. It was transpertation becouse Moma needed the car with the three kids. The bike leaked oil, peed gas on my leg but it just kept running. yup meet my needs.

 

Hype... what hype... no one told me there was suppose to be hype...
