    Way to go Harley, what would 2017 be w/o a recall

    As I always say Harley uses the public as their R&D. Took my Sportster yesterday for an inspection, 197 miles on it since 2013, I just can't get off the F6B. It feels like I got on lawnmower until I hit traffic then it felt like I was on a lawnmower with a BBQ underneath it, Great Balls of Fire.

    I was at Harley last week and see they came out with a 107 CI engine. 1 CI larger than the now defunct Victory engines.

    Indian must have pissed Harley off when they came out with the 111 CI engine, just 1 CI larger than their Screaming Eagle SE 110 CI engine.

    The Milwaukee 8, the reason why I traded my Road Glide Custom in for the F6B was because it was frying my balls at idle with the 103 c.i. engine so the new 107 should really put it on broil. Indian and Harley can duke it out with the cubic inch war, without any consideration for thermal evacuation, till they kill themselves I'll be nice and cool on my "B". If I'm not mistaken you have to pull the tank off on the new motor to change the plugs - genius.

    My car wrench told me he knows it is time to change the Harley oil when the Harley stops leaking.

    That's precious. Lol
    If you are not part of the solution, YOU are the problem.

    Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty.

    I remember the aluminum pans underneath the bikes, IN THE SHOWROOM.

    That is one of the many reasons I sold my Street Glide 103.
    Liked the seating potion. But thought about the frog in the water.
    And how you turn up the flame until he relies he is cooking.

    I have trouble understanding the H-D bashing here. Aren't we all simply passionate bikers? I've owned four Harleys and liked each for different reasons. The new generation bikes are really huge steps forward. Love my F6B-- for now. If everyone had exactly the same interests and same motorcycle, wouldn't that be dull? Enjoy diversity!

    It's not bashing. It's constructive criticism.
