I was talking to a guy the other day he saw my HD shirt and told me he just bought a new 1800 honda vtx. He had pictures and everything. I asked what he paid for the bike he said after all the extras he put on the bike it was around 19,000 I said what did you say? I told him he could have bought a really nice HD for that kind of money. But he said he did not want a air-cooled bike that they overheat too much. I told hime mine has never overheated as long as I have had it. I told him that I had almost 70,000 miles on the bike he would not belive me. Oh well I told him and said good bye. I did not want to start a argument.

Well judging by the photo you supplied here of the Honda and the welds on the neck of my 08 Ultra and a friends 08 Electra Glide and a quick walk through the HD dealership nearby the welds on the Honda look fantastic! I think the 7th grader did the Harleys! Spatter everywhere guess that is what you get from American robotics lol

Why would you try to convince someone who just spent 19K that he should have bought what you like.

I am not saying I dont like honda at all some of my friends ride honda. I just thought it was funny that he did not like harley bucause they overheat alot. honda makes probbly the most relible bike out there the gold wing. I like all bikes and bikers I just like harley the best of course.

I would have yard full of Honda/Kawi/Yami bike all looking for part as I buy a new bike each time I would lost time of riding when there was Jap Junk in my yard. It's was nice if the parts would be there like the harley parts. But the Jap bike change every year. This not a good stock of parts. Harley you have to pay more with less down time.
I Z1 1000 Kaw 6 months to get gear parts.
920 yam start parts every other month for three year stop making the part
Honda part is a little more around they never change as fast alot of used part around
