I'll own my Springer until it gets passed down to someone else in the family. I don't need to feel better about it, don't know if I even could

The aftermarket has that covered. I haven't bought a thing for the bike from HD since I've owned it, and see no reason to start. http://hawghalters.com/

Resale on Twinkies will be way down as well.


I've said the twinkie will be the redheaded step child of the HD family since the M8 came out... doesn't change my opinion on my bike or the newer ones

Same for me.

While I am responding to random comments, I do not keep track of who said what. Unless I get called out - lol.

Looks like someone is overly defensive. Typically I would say 'if the shoe fits'... But in this case and when it comes to Springers, well for me bikes just don't get any cooler.

Not even close, just responding to posts I see while on break at work... and thanks, I've always loved the springers

Lots of Harley folk are Luddities. Many of them work in buggy whip factories.

NO S___!!! If the re-sale on mine drops any more,
I'll have to pay someone to take it.
Don't get me started on trade-in.
