Funny that mine has been totally trouble-free since purchasing it in '98, and many thousands of miles later, still not missing a beat. Lots of fun and and always extremely reliable, even on 500km's per day - no worries mate !
So, that was a very broad comment u made, dont you think ? sure everyone has motoring troubles - even the newest of cars brake down etc, so segregating the HD"S is a little petty.

Who the fuck are you talking to?
Is it voices in your head again (the ones that told you to buy a HD?). Try upping your dosage.
To paraphrase the Bard: Methinks the wench doth protest too much...you will note that I slagged off a popular European model earlier and we have yet to have anybody spring to its defense.
Perhaps this insecurity is common to HD riders? It would certainly explain aspects of their “look at me I’m a bad ass” behaviour that manifests itself in everything from loud pipes to dressing like a member of The Village People…

I was replying to Lou actually - but I 'm glad you feel better too for having your say. Each to their own. I just love to get out on the road and ride for hours - definatley not insecure - and hey ....
as for Village People...bet you've sung YMCA at least once in ya life...
admit it !! Your time is up - I'm off to work, and don't wish to carry on this conversation with you.

Well, that makes everything all right, then. Everybody knows that rich people are always right...
...wait a minute - wasn't Saddam Hussien one of the richest men in the world?

I could be wrong but I recall from the "Two Wheels" road test of the time that the Moto Guzzi V7 engine was originally designed to power a small farm tractor / agricultural implement.wll, maybe the Davidsons invented that too. May be like the Mitzubishi being a car....and also a video brand ! The mind boggles does'nt it !
Anyway - I kind'a like the ol rotary hoe ....

Not that that is dishonourable - Lamborghini is as well known for their tractors as for the cars.

MV Augusta makes Helicopters...
Forum whore
Yeah but helicopters are sexy, but tractors and cultivators...
Hang on Harley own (or did at one stage) Aermacchi and Aermacchi make jet fighters and trainers (like the NZ "air force" used to have) and you can't get much sexier than that, so by extension, Harley = sexy shit

Made. Not makes. As 'resurrected' they're only doing bikes, to the best of my knowledge. Then again, I could be entirely wrong.
And it's 'Agusta'.

You're not referring to the taper that is ground into cams to make the cam followers rotate, are you

Buells are sexy. Never heard anyone argue against *that*.
Harley make those doggy old cruisers because people BUY them. If people stopped paying money for 1950s designs built with centimeter-level tolerances, they'd get their act into gear and start making stuff more in line with the Jap and Euro manufacturers.
In the meantime, if you want American Iron that goes and handles, just buy a Buell (and don't look too closely at the 'Made in ...' labels). Mmmmmm. XB9R...

No,the valves are angled into the block,so the cams are ground heavily tappered for the follower to sit on,hard case.There was one for sale on TradeMe awhile ago,tempting to repower the XLV with it,but he wanted too much for it.
Yeah Oscar,the XLCR is one of the few Harleys I'd want,there was one at the classic meeting at Puke done semi street tracker,very nice.The only Harley I really want is one of these - but I'd do a better job than this.

Harley also makes Parking meters,lawn mowers,bowling allys,And will hang their name on any cheap tacky peice of shit that will make them a quid.
You can even buy HD dunny seats.There has to be a good joke in that
