Performance paint! Yup, that's what every performance bike owner dreams about.

This is downright scary.

It is red. Everyone knows red is good for at least ten horsepower over any other color.Darn; i forgot. Riders with 200hp bikes better trade for a new Harley with red performance paint. I'm sure they will line up at your local dealerships.
This paint must have magic dust, looks like metal flake. It transports the bike through time and space.
Wow!

So Harley still thinks smoke and mirrors (and goofy paint schemes) will work to distract potential buyers from the obvious lack of real performance relative to all the competition? Who said they couldn't change their stripes? Whoever it was, was right.

Hopefully that buyer never goes up against a real "performance motorcycle".

Harley needs moderators.
Do moderators need Harley?

Remember when the board was giddy with anticipation over the imminent announcement from Mothership Harley regarding the new models for the year? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Pool Boy was rumored (later proven to be unfounded) to be especially fond of Pumpkin Spice cookies, back when HD did the Pumpkin Spice bike.

I wonder if they are also working on a new version of HOG aimed toward the younger generation. Instead of going to meetings at a sponsoring dealership and going on organized rides, they would just meet in online chat rooms and participate in virtual rides. :nixweiss:

If MOCO would get their heads out of their tail pipes and listen to the actual customers. We are still asking that they fix all the freaking bugs in the GTS GPS, they fix one and ruin 5 more. Maybe sales would be up if they could at least release a "new" system that worked as promised and didn't get worse with each update? Guarantee this does not impress the younger generation, I am old fart and it pisses me off.
Furthermore, God forbid they should hire some of the younger crowd to read these forms to see what customers really think of their issues. No that would be "Performance Customizing"

This performance paint deal started way back when the MoCo learned from reading here on this forum that red is the fastest color.
Make no mistake about this forum is one of HD focus groups. They however choose not to actively participate.
When they do show in person you can’t get some folks nose out there ass(es).

High Performance focus, Screamin' Eagle focus, or the regular kind of focus? :nixweiss:
