What's getting old?
Well, for one, Harley's penchant for adding new paint and a couple tweaks to a decade-old design is getting old....mighty old. Pun absolutely intended
The never-ending stupidity that happens around here whenever someone mentions Harley?
It's not stupidity. In fact, the vast majority of the posts here re: Hardleys are spot-on. They are well built bikes, lovely to look at, sound sweet as hell when fitted with reasonable pipes and when ridden properly by a competent rider, can haul the mail quite well. It just happens that 'competent riders' make up about 1% of the Hardley riders, so.....our generalizations are pretty spot-on accurate/
Or the fact that 99.9% of the posters here never owned one, never rode one and STILL profess to know EXACTLY how badly they suck and EXACTLY how horrible they are?
Sorry, far more people than you give credit to have ridden Hardleys, myself included. I had a 100th Anniversary Fat Boy in my garage (my nephew's) for two winters and rode it often, and never took it beyond 70 as I could not stand the buffeting from the windscreen nor leaned it more than 20 degrees because it would grind bits everywhere. That's not a motorcycle in my book....that's a rocking chair on two wheels.
Or the fact that people who KNOW EVERYTHING continue to be just flat out WRONG about everything they rag on Harleys for?
I don't profess to know much more than the averagely-competent motorcyclist, but I know enough to know that anything essentially unchanged for decades is, well, decades old. Time to move on....
Ahh, BTW, 560 lbs with (har har har) 47 horsepower.....that's a joke. Betcha a big Burgman will blow by it. The typical Bonnie weighs 150 lbs less and has north of 60 hp, so.....it's not even close as a 'comparo' bike.
