"I've already seen that day in my house. It's not as bad as you'd think if you keep humble and just agree. JD has already caught on to "Yes Dear" and it insults her anymore. I started "hanging my head" a couple of years ago, and she's caught on to that too. Now-a-days I'm having to offer her in writing, "I was wrong". In 2009, I'm thinking I'll have to have it notorized. By 2010, I'm hoping she makes a mistake, and that'd buy me a couple of years."

Might make a nice tatoo.

Well, we're dealing with these POS engines. We had to endure your assualt on bad Paint Jobs. Deal with our misery like we dealt with yours!

Hoist!

Not me. My paint and the rest of my bike has been great. Oh wait all of mine are 2004 & 2005's.

Totally agree there. The guy who spent his last cent just to purchase the bike.......Maybe shoulda bought a Jap bike.

Nah Ken...what's that saying?  "I'd rather push my Harley....."

Man, this is turning into a great thread!!!

Not directed at you Mike, just a general statyement that there are many subjects here of little to no interest of some people. I'm just saying in general to all, deal with it here or don't read about it. But it's a real issue for those who do have to deal with this. Nothing personal man!

I asked Howie to do me a favor while there, please do not film that...

Are you kidding me or what? That would make a great commercial..... for Honda!

Not until after we tour York next Friday.   I still think Don has set us up big time for this tour and there's not a chance in the MOCO letting us in.   Might have to use tape on Howie.  

I am sick that I will not be there.  Will someone please take a camera and video tape Howie?  I know he will not be able to resist showing the asemblers how they should be putting these engines togather.  I already feel sorry for the tour guide.  They have no idea the ambush that is waiting for them.  

Why must you crush my dreams?  I don't care what you say.  In my mind I still see Howie running into the assembly area, and like those people who rush into seafood resturants to free the lobsters, he starts altering throttle bodies and exhausts to set these engines free.

What short memories we have. Buncha old CRS folks here I see. Might I remind ya'll that Don couldn't make it last year and I took care of this event at York. I interfaced very nicely with them too. I can bite my tongue when necessary. If you remember, I showed up on my FXWG last year because they couldn't get a ring gear and starter for my bike after the ring gear blew up. By the end of the tour, they couldn't work fast enough to pull one off the floor for me and get it to the dealer. It was there by the time I got back from York. Howie ain't as dumb as he looks!

And Binx is wearing a tshirt that says "I don't know the crazy person" with arrows pointing every possible direction .

She's had that shirt for years. As a matter of fact, I got it for her!


With all that said, you guys will have to deal with reading about 110 issues until they're resolved, like the paint issues. I blazed the path I went down because I saw that HD movie before. Hated it the previous times. Was not interested in the sequel! Now dopey Howie's idea of FTF & FTW ain't so ridiculous anymore. We are all dealing with it the way we're most comfortable. There's no right or wrong way to deal with it. But just the fact that we have to, is insulting to me. The MoCo should have more respect for us than this. But it's strictly business to them, and it's all about the numbers, not the customer. The way of American Corporations today. And that's a God damned shame!!!

Hoist!

My 05 has been great too Mike.  Well... except for when I got it caught in my Zippers.  But that wasn't the bike's fault .

Right on brother - right on. Down rite pitiful what's become of us.

Maybe you could build your own CVO like at Fuddruckers?   Do you think the gift shop will be selling slightly used cylinders?
Or how about next year's Christmas (I can say Christmas here, right) shopping premium:

A black framed glass shadow box with the evolution of the non leaking * head gasket yours with any purchase of $250.  *Assuming they find one by next Christmas.

Phil's been going to Jerry's School of Sarcasm and Cynacism I see!

 I am only as good as the material HD gives me.  Actually sarcasm is something I majored in at The School of Hard Knocks. Sarcasm 101 and Advanced Sarcasm.

Just flipped to this section and noticed the current threads here.  With only a few exceptions it's still all (different) 110 issues.  More than a year in to production. 

Please don't take this wrongly. I feel for each and every one of you.  But I am so glad I don't have one of these engines in either of my bikes.

With modern standards it's almost unbelievable.  It's certainly inexcusable.  Sorry guys....

Oh, I see you are one of those who believes everything you read on the internet.  Any MOCO customer service rep or dealership Service/Sales/General Manager will confirm for you that the rantings of the internet looney's have greatly exaggerated the extent of the 110 issues.  And people like you only perpetuate the myths...  Shame on you...

Scott, I'm not sure how to put this diplomatically or at all skillfully.  Always try to be careful with the wordcraft though.  Especially when dealing with the efforts of diligent professionals and the standards and ethics they bring to bear on our behalf.  So as cogently and with as much linguistic precision as I can possibly exercise let me say this:

Harley's service reps that spew this BS ride to work on the frakking short bus and are even more frakking addled from spending their day sniffing fumes in start up booth.  The only thing dumber then what they try to pass off on us is that they really believe we buy this crap when they say it.  Pinheaded swizzle sticks better suited to crossing guard duty across the Korean DMZ for the actual effectiveness of their efforts toward any more than spewing the company line.  Their affection for themselves and for their corporate deity reaks of a small shriveled thing holding something close to its breast wisftully saying "my pretty" and thinking we must see the shine of it too.  If only they knew we often look forward to vomit illness than we look forward to hearing the made up, nonsensical, sometimes even mechanically impossible explanations they expect us to believe.

I can say all of the above, with fewer words: "Harley Service Reps are educated beyond their inteliigence"

I was translating all that to mean "they suck"!

Hoist!

I took a tour of the Capitol Drive plant where they build a lot of the engines (not the 110") last month while in Milwaukee and they let us know that the plant where they do build them had stopped giving tours a while back and would not be giving tours in the immediate future. 

Do you suppose they have been getting blasted on quality or they are working on a liquid cooled motor???
