I've said, I'd rather push my harley than ride a Honda. Looks like they're taking me up on it. Mines all to pieces.

What happened to the bike?.......We all know that you have more than 1 bike........how many is it in total now?

I've had hondas, Kawasakis, Suzukis. I've rode them all, the HD is the worst as far as maintenance and problems. but, it's the only bike I've ever had that I truly love.

It's in for the second head gasket leak. Crank runout is within tolerance, but, I'm not happy with it. Trying to decide which direction to go. Bullet proof it like howie, Jims engine, simple head gasket and take my chances. Complete story at 6:00.

This is dejavu! I bought an 02 Indian Chief with the new 100 CI "Bottle Head" and in 11 months of ownership the IMC replaced the entire bike once due to a swing arm alignment issue that was nearly a NTSB recall for a brake problem it created, and the engine on the second bike, due to head gasket and general poor engineering. Total mileage between 2 scoots and three engines was 8K. I bought my 03 SERK Memorial day weekend and hope to never repeat the nightmare. I feel your pain!
