    Interesting. The cause (deposits from old fluid) is similar to the one that caused the GL1800 brake recall.

    Not a good time to be a HOG stock owner. Their Q4 2017 net income decreased to just over $8 million from about $47 million for the same period in 2016. They don't seem to have an answer for the aging of their target market. I'm not sure much of their competition does either. But I'm thrilled we still have so many great choices!

    Hardley is really having a difficult time moving new units out of the dealers...Perhaps many reasons including they just cost so much for what you get and the younger generations are not buying large touring bikes like they used to..Most of us older "farts" either own one, or have another brand, and as we get older just don't want to spend "huge bucks" for marginal quality and the same old thing.....I might consider an Indian Chieftain next year or so, but really like my F6B and have not yet seen the newer models.....Your right about HD stock "tanking"...not a good investment right now according to Wall Street.....Who knows what the future will bring, but I personally will never own a Hardley!!!
