Then why did my 09 ultra develop a transmission leak 2 months after I bought it at 2300 miles?

If the following is true, I'll never buy another GM product.

Man speaks the truth there , it's different for everyone who throws a leg over one . Some have much deeper feeling about it than others .

The only breakdown I ever had on a Harley was when my made-in-America load equalizer took a crap.

Joe since GM sucked the government dick and did what it did to the employee's and is trying to do the retiree's still I wouldn't **** on one its products in passing . That company is no better than that bunch of wall street bandits that caused the continuing collapse of this country .

With my HD, breakdowns haven't been part of the experience...(knock on wood). With my Big Dog... they were almost a monthly occurence.

I like having more than one bike ....
One the Shovel (that I built) takes a crap, I got no one to blame but myself ....
The Twinkie, gives me an opportunity to bash MoCo.
