Is it worse to hate the bike or the lifestyle? Or the people that buy a lifestyle? I know a few guys at work that look the part, lemmy stache, rides a chromed out cruiser, but refuses to own a Harley. I also know a few guys at work that ONLY ride Harley's and they like to make little jokes about my sr250.
It's easy to hate on the people when they invite it. The actual bikes for me don't appeal. A vrod or a shovel head rat bobber might find room in my garage if I had extra silly money.
people "buying" a lifestyle is nothing new, some create it and the others buy in to be part of something. Humans.....
and yes, a Shovelhead fits in my garage along with my favorite UJM. See sig...

To be honest I don't necessarily see a manufacturer as having a lot of recalls as a bad thing. At least they are admitting to problems and fixing them.
How many manufacturers just don't admit to their problems (oh - Kawasaki ZX9r 2000 frame cracking.......)
As for the HD front brake one - it's the "potential" for the brake line to get pinched between the tank and the frame. If this happens the fluid will not go back to the MC so it won't suddenly lock up out of the blue without any warning - the front brakes will drag and you'll know there's a problem.

Damn Brad - do you need a belly rub? You sound sad. Just for your edification England isn't an island - that would be Great Britain silly. Congratualtions on winning, you should be proud, I'll buy you a cookie.
As far as us building things with wheels I can say words like Triumph, BSA, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Ascari, McLaren, Ascari, Lotus, Norton.
oh shit did I say Ascari?
spotty
Vmax...why,yes i think i will

Sell the many to fund the few
I run a Supermoto club and have been for the last 5 years 100+ members riding every Tuesday April tell Sept. The local Harley shop is one of our biggest sponsors they have ZERO financial interest with us. They don't sell Sumos what so ever However as the owner said they are motorcycles and I support all facets of motorcycling and Motorcycle raceing. Like it or not with out Harleys we would not have the massive aftermarket suppliers to pull from because without the Harley riders wanting to bolt everything on and customize much like we do and thats where the majority of the sales go. I dont mind Harleys I have worked on them and everything in between. I dont know if I would own one unless it was very old and fun on Sundays. As for recalls meh shit happens better then some company's and there recalls.

Build bikes to ride, not to look at!

It's like watching any movie about WW2. They"ll span across all of Europe and fight every battle and you'll never see anything more than Americans and Germans.
