Lets see now, Jerry has close to 9000 post and most of us here know that most of them were him taking the time to help someone out with a problem. I have never met or talked to Jerry but he has sent me personal emails to help me locate or fix a few problems. He sent instruction sheets, updates that the dealer said did not exist to help with the early 08 FBW issues etc. The throttle would erratically take off without any input from me, pretty scary. Jerry is not the only one that has done this as there are a number of very helpful, experienced and time giving folks on this site. If their were no issues do you think he & others that you are referring to would have sent out that many post on this site. I never looked at these post as negative I and other long time owners have seen the decline in quality and that is a fact. They are getting prettier but don't think about putting touring mileage like maybe 200,000 without some major issues, it's possible but not very likely. I wish the original poster all the luck in the world, my first Harley started on fire the very first day I took it home, beat that one! He didn't say they all do that, I wonder why!
