thanks.

I like the switchback...just needs laced wheels and painted latches to hide the fact they are not proportionate to the size of the bag itself.

You spend to much time at the harley shop

 

See I originally said Harley dropped the ball on what could have been a great bike and a lot of people thought so too. And a few disagreed. Fine, we're just shooting the **** here. Then you show up -- five posts total -- and get real snotty while posting pics of your terrific bike which only validated what I had originally said -- Harley could have made a killer bike on the Dyna platform.

And after my unfortunate experience of having to live in a rooming house with Australians in Tokyo I told you what I think: Australians in my experience are loud, aggressive pains in the *** and you amply proved my point. Can't stand them and I hate the Bee-Gees too.

See, unlike you, we Americans didn't bend over and give the government our guns, we still have something here called free speech and many but not all of the posters here aren't particularly pee-cee. Didn't want to cause a hassle to the admins here so I e-mailed you privately.

I certainly was at the receiving end of Australian hatred of Americans, New Zealanders, South Africans, Japanese, Africans ( boy the really hated those dudes) in general. Bunch of drunken bullies and creeps your mates... and strangely enough the Aussies in question were mostly recent immigrants to that pile of sand and ugly wildlife you call home -- mostly from old communist countries. Only thing they shared with the old convict families was bad dental work.

And TFC of 35 posts, I stop by there once a every couple of weeks to shoot the **** with a friend who works there and also plays guitar. I also ride to work every day, go to Costco to buy food and ride just for the hell of it on the weekends. You got a problem with that?

 

You see your problem is you think your 4000 posts matter more than my 5. Not only did you make it personal by verballing me (attributing statements to me that I did not make), you found it nessasary to justify your boorish responses by vilifying Australians in general, and now vilifying those that had the missfortune of serving in Japan while you were there. And when you realised you were looking like an unconscionably rude fool, you decided, like the coward you surely are, to shift your insults to a PM where you thought you could pile on even more insults while pretending to be civil to others here.

Funny thing is, it looks to me like you are projecting your own not inconsiderable faults onto my countrymen and women. You're the one expressing hatered of other nationalities, and are you are the one behaving like a drunken bully.

 

This is how this conversation started when you posted:

"Seriously, do you belive any of this bull$hit? Nobody gives a stuff that you don't like the colours, or the wheel, or the name, or if the bags are too small for you."

That sounds pretty fking rude to me mate. Up to that the conversation was most civil mate. But you had to come out swinging because you are -- taa-daa -- an Australian and that's how you folks roll.

"and now vilifying those that had the missfortune of serving in Japan while you were there..."

No one was serving anyone there, we were all English teachers trying to make a buck, although the schools rarely hired people with Aussie accents mate, cause your accent is so ugly mate but there you go getting all snotty again, typical of your countrymen. And "misfortune of serving in Japan???"

Hells bells, Japan is paradise compared to that dump you call home but then again Australia is no doubt a darn sight better than Bratislavistan or wherever the hell your family emigrated from.

Peace and out mate, you have a terrific bike and you get props from me for that but you fell out the back of the Snap On truck, that's for sure...

 

Look. Let me sum it up for you because keeping track of a conversation, even your own part, seems beyond you.

You were complaining that Harley didn't build the FLD exactly like you would've liked them to - like your opinion maters. And this led you to concluded the FLD was unwanted and unloved, as if yours was the only opinion that mattered. When this was pointed out to you, you decided ramp up from over-blown self importance, to full on personal insult and attack.

You're like a problem gambler - you just keep on doubling down.

Best you lay down and rest old man. You don't want get your blood pressure up.

 

Okay bike. Overpriced. Don't sell that well. One dealer I know had a handful of 2012's before the 13's came out that he had to discount them heavily to clear them off the floor.

 

Funny... 100 pounds lighter then a streetglide, more nimble in handling, spokes are a pain in the *** to clean. Think I will keep mine.. Each to there own I guess.

 

I don't see where people think it's over priced. The WideGlide is 1000 less than the Switchback for instance. The WG is stripped down and the SB comes with floorboards, windshield, FL front end, headlight nacelle, hard bags, etc. then the next "step" up is the Road King at 1700 more than the Switchback.

Maybe the Road King is underpriced? lol

Or the Switchback just sits in its own little niche between the 2?!?!?

 

Wow big words here, they make my brain hurt. Of course you did type them upside-down. Forumites sounds like a great name for an especially virulent strain of bedbugs.
