    HD makes a fine motorcycle. The motor company just could never check all the boxes that I wanted in a motorcycle. I could never frown that much and put on all the funny motor clothes. I like the Dudes with imported cars and trucks with Harley Davidson front tags. Now HD has the 500/750 water cooled Dot Head Model. Oh for the North American market the Indian (country) parts are assembled in The USA.

    If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it.

    I have had many. Rode them when they weren't popular. Had some bad experiences with shovelheads and still loved the lope.
    I guess it's been a love/ hate relationship. I have learned to never say never. Right now, I love my F6B and that's a good thing !!

    I had my share of HDs, didn't wear pirate outfits and building trikes one test of a Goldwing and I was sold. Owned a GL1500 trike for 6 years before selling it. If I get a better job and my finances improve I may build myself another Wing trike.

    I blew two away yesterday. Just couldn't help it ! My wife said, "You know I hate that when you do that". MY BAD !!!

    I love their looks but have always been afraid to buy one because of the mechanical issues I hear that they have and the roasting heat I hear that they generate.

    I like 'em all.
    I buy which ever bike fits my needs at the time.
    Maybe some day that will be a HD. Maybe not.

    Love the fact that they are an American based company.
    Disappointed that the products they make don't have what I need in a motorcycle.
    Ditto for the two Polaris bike brands.

    Had a 13roadglide. Nice looking bike And I thought it was a nice riding bike coming off a 2000 yamaha roadstar. Until the electrical problems set in 4-5 times in the shop in less than 1 years and 10,000 miles. So I went and test drove the f6 and bought the bike I looked at last summer and should have bought. If I test drove the f6 last year I would have never even went to the hd dealer that day. Gotta agree with other. Nice paint and chrome

    I had a Street Bob that I was pretty happy with but I thought the Street Glide would be the ultimate. I was wrong. I got an 07 and it handled like crap, stopped like crap and was in the shop over and over. Engine had to be rebuilt at 35k. I traded it in on the F6B as soon as I paid it down enough to get it financed. But as fun and comfy as the F6B is, I missed the feel of a paint shaker between my legs. I always wanted a Sportster so I picked up a used one and I love it! Now I have the best of both worlds (for me). Most of my riding is with HOG since I made so many friends over the last few years. I ride the F6B all week to work and ride the Sporty on the weekends. I think I'm good to go, for a while at least!
