We've heard the cry of "this is the last year for air-cooled engines" for years. Every June-July, Google "new Harley-Davidison" and see how many conspiracy therorist are stating the new models will all be water-cooled....happens every yr. My prediction: HD will not water-cool unless Uncle Sugar bends the MoCo over and absolutely makes them.
Regarding the salesman claiming that the '13's will be water-cooled...yeah, I'm sure he's privy to what's going on behind closed doors at HD mgmt. and design meetings...he got the inside info while having a few brews at Willie G's this weekend. If HD does go water-cooled, he'll know when we all do.
Gotta go, Jack Roush and Carroll Shelby invited me over to talk about the new 2013 Mustang's electric-kerosene rotary engine.
