I don't like what they've done with the rear ends of the wings at all.  Looks like they are trying to compete with the Victory Vision...ugh.

Just needs a few touches from Team Willie to make it perfect. I know he is watching this post and maybe a FLTRSEH2O could happen soon. He must be bored with retirement by now.  :P

After thousands of hours of design and design review, the wearing out of of a least ten berets due to brow furrowing and the death of three trees used for pencils and paper for sketches this would be the Willie G version.

Guess that all depends on your personal definition of "leads".   :nixweiss:

          Road a goldwing back in the early 80's, thought it had nice lines and comfortable to ride. Then they had a certain degree of a distance tour riding bike.
          Looks like a run around towner then a tour. :nixweiss: Always kind of thought of them as a rice burner any how. The sleek design kind of reminds me of Kawasaki, Yamaha, etc. raiser look. :confused5:

Sad but true.

Harley is on the road to improvement, all the recent changes seem to indicate that. But they still have a ways to go before they hit the dependability level of a good Japanese bike. Now I know that there are folks out there with good solid bullet proof Wednesday made Harleys that have never had a problem. But judging by most of the posts here and on other sites, most of those are the exception, and not the rule, especially in the CVO category.

I love my CVO. It has looks, style, that "soul" everyone talks about, a culture, history, good resale value, and a brotherhood unlike any other. However none of that matters when you're broken down on a dark, cold, lonely road out in the middle of nowhere with no cell coverage. That has happened to me more times than I care to remember with my old '01. The die-hards will quote "I'd rather PUSH my Harley than ride a Honda", well I've done that too outside of Zion National Park. Pushing a 1,000lb Ultra at 3,000 feet in the 100 degree desert is not my idea of a fun road trip. And while we all argue that "those Japanese bikes have way too much plastic", I can tell you it's easier to push a lighter bike made out of plastic and fiberglass than a heavier bike made out of metal.

I think we'd all agree that if Harley had the quality and dependability record of any of the major Japanese motorcycle makers, we'd all be as happy as a HOG in slop.

But I could be wrong.

First bike was a 900 Kaw, then came a BMW K100, then a 74 Electra Glide, 99 Softail, 05 Ultra Classic and now my 13 CVOUC.  I have met some of the nicest people around the country while riding my Harley's.  Many times an old timer will start a conversation about the old Harley he used to ride or stories about friends that rode.  Never once had a person begin a conversation about the old metric bike they use to ride.  In fact I almost felt invisible at times on the BMW and Kawasaki.  As I get older I appreciate the nostalgia and the bond of the Harley culture.  The Goldwing is not bad looking and I am sure I will see many but I will continue to smile as I pat the tank on my CVO.

I can appreciate that kind of brand loyalty, I really can. It's very admirable. I'm that way with some things too, like pistols. I prefer the Sig-Sauer over the Glock. I've carried both on duty and used both. Both are excellent, I just prefer the Sig.

Speaking only for myself, I love motorcycling too much to give it up. If for some reason I could not own a Harley-Davidson, I certainly would not give up an activity that has become a part of my life. I would gladly own a Japanese bike, a German bike, an Italian bike, a British bike, a Russian bike, or even one of the other American made bikes, rather than completely surrender the pleasure of riding.

But that's just me.
