lol

What makes you think that Rodders?? LOL!!

 not happy ! well fuck me ive got to get it back to m&w its over an hour away this piece of crap only has 2500 k on the clock he' s fucked of back to the mines ive got cows to milk . why anyone would buy a new harley must have more money than brains the build quality is no better than 20 years ago but the price has doubled because you have everyone in a suit wants to be a son of anarchy well for the weekend anyway

 Hey there take it easy, Even old bikes were new once upon a time. Maybe unfortunately it was the only one that has an oil  leak (warranty) and an electrical issue. It will get fixed. Ya cant put all new harleys in the same boat. I'm sure your boy was happy at the time he got it.

And a lesson learnt not to give your old pride and joy away as now you have seen the results! I feel for ya.

 

A bike had a problem? Fuck me dead that's unheard of! Take it back and demand they give you a trouble free one. I never heard anyone complaining back in the days we all rode dinosaurs.

if it was me and my old man[gr8 bloke by the way] it would still be sitting there waiting for me waiting till i got back....
why...cause i brought it so
let him take care of it- its his ride ....let his balls grow or drop
tell him to buy a shovel..... that will teach him patience
and u need to relax
just saying

 i can fix my dinosaur and the iron head sporty how fickel and sad that some people think one of the best harleys ever made is like rideing a dinosaur and for 23000 i think i have aright to be piss off . or well times change and the weekend parts fitters have taken over .

strange shit happens every day,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, so deal with it

and thats wht ya get for not using Redline shock proof oil LMFAOYA

Hey! I'm with you triumph68.......Evo's RULE!! ('94 Springer...) LOL!!

 

Hey I'll give ya 5000 grand for it and ill pick it up

 

And plus one for choppa

Nothing wrong with the new Bikes, I love my Muscle, Revolution Engines kick arse, with regards to the EFI, the Auto Tuners are the Bees Knees.

New Harley comes with 24 months unlimited K''s warranty so take it back but thingo u saying abt the mistake and crap you are wrong there mate.

Harley is the Best Stuff the rest

piss and moan,piss and moan. if i want to listen to shit dribbling i will go talk to me missis.

I'm with Cooky too....(nice article), but that's probably influenced by the fact I ride a '94 EVO, (which I plan to keep till the day I die) ....

But it's also kinda funny. I may have imagined it, but when I bought it new in '94, there was still a feeling that 'real' Harleys' were anything shovel or earlier, and that only 'yuppies' and 'try hards' bought evos'.... that wheel keeps turning it seems!!

ive had twinkies for alot longer then the 2 years warrenty and done some good miles and never had one on the edge of the road yet.
Also had a 86 model in the early days of my harley owning that i had more trouble with then it was worth.
Im not that mechnically minded but from what ive seen and learnt over the years are that the evos were/are a great engine and saved the company,but from
my experience harley just keeps improving. It seems the twinkies are just a bit to high tech for people to get there heads around so
they stay in there comfort zones of what they know how to work with.

i have a 08crf450x that i have flogged the absolutly fuck outa every 4th weekend since new. changed the piston and rings once recently.never let me down. Does that one fall into your catagory too.
tecnology is getting better in my opinion

 

Jeez, just ride what u want to,

 can remember when evo's were not considered a harley, they were for the mainstream as cockheads with a blockhea!d, u know someting to appeal to the mainstream with reliabillity so everyone could jump on a Harley, which saved harleys arse.

shit man theyt even lost their kickstarter!

 my how times have changed.

Have purchased a 2012 deluxe to keep my other bikes company and read up on the good and bad and sometimes u just gotta say fuck it, love the 6th gear when i am travellin and my girl loves the comfort, might have cam problems and crank problems but sometimes u just gotta make a move, lifes too short .
