re
ha!ha! yea its takes all kinds :wink:
i have experienced what you mean with the attitude of some folks but
they are not worth the trouble-i just say my bike is bigger than a H/D :grin:
" If you were to compare any Harley to any metric bike (side by side) you could CLEARY see the quality difference; frame welds, assembly, longevity, durablity, engineering, etc."
but as this thread started to compare the meanie with the rod i went and
put them side by side(we have several of both in our group) and i would have to say that H/D is on track with that bike in all the areas you mention above except maybe longevity(remains to be seen).overpriced YES,but i believe
that will change around 2008-2010 when H/D makes everything water cooled
due to emission regs.i already know of some dealers selling below msrp
and that is something new for H/D and resale is falling also.i have a buddy with a 04 duece that he has over 24k in and on ebay 04's are bringing
17-18k and getting no bids.they already admit that they are concerned
about the market share they have lost due to pricing and i'd be willing to bet
in the next 5 years you'll see a change in the way they do things
its funny how this attitude thing is still prevelant with some riders though
i just don't get it-its like that with corvette too,when i sold my vette for the
T/A i was dis-owned by that crowd but none of them would meet me at the track for a little shootout

to prove their point-so i'm just happy to have
a faster car than them and have a backseat too :grin:
