Oh, I'm still here fellas... sorry, I was out riding my 1 year old bike that doesn't have any handlebars I've someone managed to put 9000 miles on in 8 months... but what do i know, i don't ride it... i buy them to look at and polish them...
I guess I came off the wrong way... I wasn't trying to ridicule you all for buying a harley touring bike (cause you're right, they do have there purpose for some people) or a cvo at that (cause some people just have money to burn)... if anyone took offense i apologize... I was trying to insult if anyone, the MoCo for thinking or advertising a 1/2 ton, air cooled, pushrod motor that redlines at 5500 rpm as a performance machine by putting a special name on it with a slightly larger motor that leaks... ie, 110's...
I know I use to work at a dealership until the bullchit from the moco got to be too much.. try talking to those morons at tech services who think the fix for a motor tha leaks is increasing finising torque on the head bolts (by adding an additional 90 degrees) after putting gasket sealant on the cylinder bases.... yeah, these are the best and brightest the moco has to offer... oh yeah and then they ship you supposed "new head gaskets" which are really just the old evo style ones... woohoo... so yeah I'm more frustrated with the moco than anything... so I apologize. If I wanted to go fast I'd go back to riding japanese sportibikes... nowadays I'd rather ride american assembled ari cooled bikes...
