    HD and the people that steer the ship are pretty switched on people. That...and the US government would never let HD fold. Hell...it's a more known brand name world wide than probably Ford or General Motors now days.

    They keep all of the dealers up to date with what's going on...they're really straight up...couldn't ask for more.

Not too many classes you can get to race against people like Ainstey etc for that sort of money. For sure if they bring in XR1200 racing...I'll dust my leathers off. They'd be way faster than what we had then too.
    You gonna get some new ones made?
    Last time I checked you didnt fit them

    Plus I need them all for me :P

    can't see it, the road tests in the uk said it was a good bike but not good enough to lure people away from the milwaukee alternative

    Well, I've a confession to make. I've booked the Rocket 3 demonstrator for Saturday and am considering trading in the Fat Bob for one. We'll see how it goes. Don't tell the wife.

    People would always ask bruce why he was racing a harley and when he pointed out that a win was worth $500.00 and we would normally win the both of them only lost 1 race in 1998 and that was the last because we didn't race it I think at the time a superbike win was only $250.00 and HD will always have people who want there bikes but as pete say"s a class with 20 xr1200's would be fun.

    When you make the rules to suit one specific brand and model thats not that hard to do
