Hey dont get me wrong, I will always ride, and yes the friends I have made because I ride was in-valuable to say the least, but, since MoCo brass have choosen to take a bottom line approach to how they do buisness, I refuse to let them line their pockets at my expense ever again. Im now a Bottom line all about Mikes money kind of guy, ....just like them. ......next bike I buy will probably be a used '04 turquiose, if I ever get into postition to find one when Im looking. Not only am still owning HD products...but MoCo has already made their cut from this product when it was new. So they dont make one more nickel in the new fiscal year because I didnt buy a new problem from them in the future.
I think we have seen a peak in just how much more they can do to a Hog anyway, outside of actually putting all the things on the f in bike right from the factory that we all go out and purchase and do our selfs after we spend an insane amount of money on their product in the first place. But again, thats a bottom line decision to put more money in their pockets at our expnse by putting some less than standard crap on it and then they gladly sell you a chrome one for a premium, when for a few extra bucks, they could of done the right thing in the first place and made it standard feature as they know its what all the customers are buying and replacing. Its BS. Like they arent making enough $$$ off of with just the Name. They have to trick us into parting with a lot more money than they really had too.
And you know, I knew this was the way it is going into buying their product, and I had no problem with that ,and I wanted nothing more than for MoCo to be successfull, when I am going to be in this , how would they describe it?, "Family" of Hog owners. I didnt mind that they were taking some of my hard earned money. But That was before I found out that the "Family" thing is a one way deal. Bottom, line, once they get the money, you no longer matter to them till its time to get some more of your money. They dont stand behind their own promises.
I cant believe that I am the only one that has been treated this way, and also feel that they have just had enough of MoCo. But untill the stock starts dropping, none of them will care. When and if that happens, and Im sure it will, I'l take great pleasure in leting them know everytime I have to buy an HD O-ring cause no one makes a better aftermarket one, How I feel and laugh at them.
