I got an idea! Lets all go over to the Honda forum and tell them how crappy their bikes are!! NOT!
Ya know, we really don't need to be bashing other rides. The UMJ (universal japanese motorcycle) has done more for H-D than you can imagine.
Take a walk around your H-D and you just might be surprised to find that H-D and Honda share a whole bunch of parts from the same manufacturer.

Shaft drive?
Harley owners that drive rice cages shouldn't bash metrics. Makes them hypocritical.
Rice cager drivers will try to reason thier owning them away.....much like metric riders.

I think that covers it.

Come on now. I didn't bash the new DN-01. I just said it looked a bit pricey. Heck, Gold Wings are designed and manufactured in the USA. What's not to like about that?

Not anymore, they shut down motorcycle manufacturing in Marysville, Ohio to move all production back to Japan.

Evidently, Sonny Barger doesn't think Honda's suck. Here's a quote from a book written about him.

Shaking his head Barger replies, "I would probably ride a BMW or a Honda ST 1100. The Harleys are getting better every year, but they're still junk. I mean I bought my wife a brand new 2000 Dyna Glide Sport and it goes into a speed wobble at 85 and I've done everything that I can do to get it out. I'm a good mechanic, I've followed their directions, we took it their shop, they've done work and it still wobbles on her. The factory tells us to change the shocks. Now why should we buy a brand new motorcycle?"

This is where it came from.

Sonny Barger was a bad man
