........When Chip takes a small portion of his fortune, buys the MOCO, and turns things around
OR

as some would say....when HELL freezes over

[Gecko]

This will be my last one.  And not because I think it is so wonderful.

[DABB]

When they bring back the yellow/charcoal-silver paint scheme for a SEUC.

 I am a vacation rider.  Meaning I rack up most of my miles on trips, and I know this sounds crazy but I would love to see these problems SBB describes, because that would mean I am racking up the miles!  I am self employed in a seasonal trade(the riding season!) and have a baby, so regular riding is limited during the week.  But I look forward to an extended riding season with my first fall season/fairing w/J&M/vented lowers combo.

Maybe a  "new to me" HD's but I can assure myself (today) no more new models for miker....Now a  cream puff 62 duo-glide, 98 or 03 Anny road glide, 04 B&B, 99 red fxr...to name a few...maybe....The new models with the combination of lack of quality paired up with my apparent lack of ability to find a dealer that is capable or competent have made the decision easy...Wish it weren't so, truley.

[Rooster]

Chip, I have throttle cables on my 07. I believe TBW started in 08. I'm afraid to buy a new one again myself. I have been down since Pala but today I get to ride again and we might be rainless for the next week. WoooHoo gonna squeeze all the riding I can in before it turns ugly.

Thanks Mike, I need to be ready for Tahoe so I will have enough time to break in the motor again. This morning I am so excited to ride it's almost like getting a new bike.

What would make you pull the trigger on a new CVO HD in the future?

Since I got a color I love...and I upgraded the exhaust so the bike performs great...it would take a good bit.

I do know one thing...if it has a 110 cubic inch engine it MUST be water cooled.

[grandpadoc]

...and maybe like some other hi end vehicles, a separate dealer network. I'm pissed at the last dealer that put two extra quarts of oil in my bike. Dummy me though for not checking it until both rocker box gaskets blew and the air clearner and bsr got soaked with oil. I'll be getting the bike back today after a two day layover and continue on to MV.

I Will Buy A New Harley When...

 I am in the same boat as , SBB,MIKER,GRC,FIREDOOD

 I agree with all of them

 Paula will say "I'll believe it when i see it" but I'm hopefully done with the new bike thing. I had a lot of problems with my 07 (just like Rooster) and tried to get it "lemon law" but couldn't take the amount of time it would take to get rid of the 07 and get an 09. It was my mistake because I just learned that i may have been able to get rid of the 07 and get an 09 without selling one and buying another. My 09 has had problems just like Chip, but I have worked most of them out and would not like to start all over. I see things like Don (isellbulls) hording 04's,05' which I think is a good idea.  

 OK, I will keep my 09, and if i ever get a second bike it will be a huckleberry (04 seeg )

 IMHO

What would make you pull the trigger on a new CVO HD in the future?

Ok, I may be accused of being sacrilegious, but inquiring minds want to know.

I know several of you have purchased 2011's or have them on order (and bless your little heart for that), but for those not buying a 2011... What would make you pull the trigger on a new CVO HD in the future?

I seriously considered buying a 2011, until I started reading the same old crap.... Same Song, Second Fifth Verse.  I already have an 08 with many of the same problems the 11's have.  Each model year seems to have a unique issue or three, but the common theme, to me anyway, seems to be the 110 motor.  And based on info put out by the MoCo themselves, they have cheapened the quality even more to save a dollar, rather than make improvements or fix known issues.

I decided to stick with the 08 for now.  I own multiple scooters.... only one HD right now, and likely to stay that way until the MoCo comes up with some better ideas.

So, what would make you pull the trigger on a new CVO HD in the future?

[Lean Dave]

I'll buy one when the price goes back to 2007 year.

Increase pricing brings increasing problems!!!

[SBB]

My 09 has had problems just like Chip, but I have worked most of them out and would not like to start all over. Marty

Good point Marty!
I was at the Harley shop on the 09 SEUC a while back when Rob the General Manager walked by.
He asked how many miles I had on the bike.
At that time there was 41K.
He said, "It's about time for a new one!"
I looked at him and said, "No way, you know the issues I have had with this one. No way I'm starting over!"
Just not going to happen!

I am pretty sure that will never happen........


I am not sure what would tip the scales for me.
Too many used bikes out there with little or no mileage on them, and at least no expectation of warranty work being done.

I have spent too much money on getting my bike right and would not want to go through it again......


so maybe Never or until till I get an itch that I cannot scratch.....

[DesertHOG]

.......HD comes out with an Ultra Road Glide!

.......oh yeah, that's right ......I bought a new Harley on 7/31/10
