    I tend to agree with some of the above posts also..Harley does a great job of painting and chrome, but the engines leave a lot to be desired in my opinion...The all look alike and sound alike and I have never been one to join the "good ole boys club" and ride to the local dealer park my bike and spend all afternoon talking about how "great HD's" are...Too each his own, as they say, and I choose to ride a Honda F6B and "blow-away" HD's when the opportunity arises...Even at my ripe old age (74) it is still kinda fun to hit the gas!!!!

    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.

    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.

    sure I love Harleys too, and just traded our "13 Ultra Limited 110th Annniv. bike on our F6B deluxe. I have had probably more Harleys than others, though at least 4 wings and 3 ST's etc. Twenty odd years ago touring the factory in York, the boxes all over the place read made in Taiwan, I guess now they can save in China, just didn't enjoy the last one so much or the "09 before it, with a Vic. Vision in between. In retrospect, I would probably go back a long way if buying Harley today, they can't duplicate the original with what they make today, or replicate the nostalgia that gave them the popularity that they are trying to retain, and how long will that last with doctors lawyers and fantasizers in pirate wear?

    Owned 3 over 13 years. 10 minutes on the f6b and those days were done. Started with Jap bikes, guess I'm going out that way.
