    Poorly bled brakes on a new bike! Is this sort of thing common? A real safety issue.

    There is no excuse for this occurring on a new bike which should have been fully serviced and test ridden before delivery to a customer.

    I had a gripe with my Speed Triple the moment I hit the motorway - the computer had been set for gallons and miles per hour and this wasn't picked up during the road test? What do they check and test and is it a mechanic or experienced rider who does the pre delivery test?
    Here for the ride.

    No argument from me,any vehicle should be 100% when sold by a dealer no matter how old.we're not talkin radios that don't work here,we're talking equipment designed to stop me from being killed init .

    The only thing that concerns me about buying a Harley Street-bob is that one of the blokes I ride with in our group is "gay" has one on order. Also he tells me it's the Harley of choice of the gay community!! Also he says that Denim is the colour of choice chosen by them also!! So I am reluctant to go there as a result!!

    So I may have to look at a different model Harley. That's if I go the Harley way. I would hate to buy a Harley and someone hit on me as a result. Have you guys that ride Harley's ever known any faggots to purchase one? Or worst still been hit on?

    Ummm are you serious? You'd not buy a bike you like only because of the possibility that a hypothetical person of a different sexual orientation will decide that not only does one's choice of bike define one's sexual orientation but also it makes the rider sudden hit material...?

    Have I just fed a troll?
