Sporties are good fun, and far better motorcycles than most riders.

HD dealers also do things like:

A bunch of folks wee riding around the Great Lakes -- one of the bike's Voltage Regulator dies (and it wasn't a Honda! Gasp).

they got to a dealer, who slotted the traveler's bike into a service bay immdiately, and had em on the road within an hour.

I know not all HD dealers act like this, and that other brand's dealers sometimes do, but I hear way more stories like this from HD riders than others.

Meh. Dime a dozen. I really don't DISLIKE Harleys, there's just too many of them in PA, and I'm just sick to death of looking at them and the typical schmuck owners, and the loud pipes and obnoxious corny lifestyles associated with them once said schmuck don's the doo-rag and goggles, studded leather accessories, and the Paul Sr. Grimace.

I'm tellin' ya, 8 out of ten bikes on the road up here are weekend Black Leather Johnny 1%er wannabees with no gear, loud pipes and leather vests crusted with pins from places they've never been to on a bike.
They don't come out when the summer PA skies spat forth a 10 minute rainshower or the temps drop below 50 degrees because it's too cold to ride in a damn Harley T-shirt.

It's really refreshing to see an occasional Connie, Strom, Triumph, BMW or other ST bike with a sensible rider and ATTGATT. Very, very rare to see any STN stikkers up here, although I've heard that the source is drying up on those so.................... Twofinger Twofinger

One just like this one parks at my work. I have checked it. HD build quality looks to be hard to beat based on this bike. Yeah its an HD but damn, everything on it is perfect.  If I were to buy and HD this one or one like it would be #1 on my list!  Inlove
