Sure have, and I've got a friend in Joplin MO that's going to tell me I knew what I was taking about in about six months.


Ride Safe,

All kidding aside; not a chance. I love how that bike looks. To my tastes it is just stunning. Chip's descriptions of the new frame's handling makes it even more tempting. But I don't trust the engine. And I don't trust Harley Davidson enough to think they'll make dealing with a problem engine a simple matter. And I'm too much of an impatient bastard to willingly accept that potential drama and hassle.
Since I've got a pair of bikes that I already absolutely love I don't have to deal with the potential drama nor hassle. And I won't.
If Harley really is so arrogant as to wonder whether they truly lose any sales by their treatment of their customers and their declining product qualities they should know they absolutely do. I love the look of this red bike. It's gorgeous. Stone cold dead on amazing. Maybe the best I've seen since the Candy Brandy Road Kings. I would try to have one in a heartbeat. But I don't trust the motor and (more problematically) I trust the company even less. So as much as my jaw drops at the bike's beauty my wallet has simply no desire to swing open in a comparable manner.
