I understand what you are saying, but what the heck... let the insults fly! It is just part of the testosterone-driven response men have about their "toys". Let the boys be boys. They'll get into a school-yard scrap and beat each other up... and wait for another day to do it all again. It is what it is...

I can pull-up posts that used to ride my back when I bought my HD Ultra in late 2009 after Custer. CJ was one in the front row giving me grief, as were several others. I always assumed from them it was all in fun; but also realize there was also likely an "owner-bias" kicking-in behind the statements and comments.

Hey... if you dig deep enough, there are posts where I ripped on HD's before getting one.

Clicked on the link... it appears not to be an active link as far as being able to find what parts are on sale and the price.

Do I need to call them?

Yea, I was the one who "started all this" crap. For Pete's sake....it's was a JOKE! It was nothing personal against either elvis or HD in general. Harley makes some great bikes. Turns out they weren't for me so I bought "the other American made bike" but it doesn't matter what I bought. It could have been made in China with German parts in a sweat shop run by under age Ugandans (I think I got everything covered there). In the end, someone's talking about an American made bike on a KAWASAKI forum. Expect a little ribbing. Like I said, Harleys are good bikes just not for me. Their fit and finish is second to none except maybe BMW. Hell, I own a Victory and I make fun of some of their downfalls.

Once again, IT WAS A JOKE! Get over it, guys.

Even though you were "monkeying around" it still hurt my delicate feelings.

I'm asking The Dear Leader to intervene and make you apolozise (with the threat of tossing you off this fine BBS) to all the Harley owners past, present and in the future.

Along with an offical apology from you, I think a bit of "Motorcycle" diversity training is in order, also.

You won't get an apology from me for joking when everyone else does the same thing. Ride what you want. I don't care now and never did. Two wheels are 2 wheels, whether it's a Harley, a Victory or a Kawasaki.

Threats don't make any sense. If you (and/or "The Dear Leader") feel I should go, so be it. I'll make it easier and leave on my own.

I love it. 80 mph and 6th gear on the highway is hard to beat! The whole "experience" is different with HD.

I have very few miles on this Electra of mine but I have a hunch you're right; the whole experience is different.

I cannot wait to take Electra to the mountains, deserts and along the Pacific coast this summer. Until then I'm just commuting and mostly roaming around locally.
