Yeah, people tell me that. I just say, " So what? It's got two wheels and goes fast.". I don't care. I'll get an HD Ultra Glide one day....and park it right next to the X.
:D

I'll be straight with ya. Great looking bike, I'm just not a HD fan. Your bike has things that are not made in this country installed on it. I won't go into details. Be safe and enjoy, Hamph
No Doubt about where parts were made. I am not a fan of the cost plus the lack of relability but there are reasons that required me to get a HD. My only issue was if I was going to get one, I would get the one that I always wanted and not settle.

Just curious... but what are the reasons that REQUIRE you to get an HD.
same question.

Even some HD wrench turners ride other bikes.... after all they need reliable transportation too.

Why do so many HD ride get so pissy about our bike being built in America?

NO IDEA.... Been fighting that fight for over 2 years now..

It's my bet he would not be needing this patch anymore

CORRECT... Our club is going to all Harley.... Just the lifestyle we have choosen and with that comes the need to move up. Guess it's all based on "In the eyes of the beholder" because no matter how much you say mine was made here and your parts come from there, you can't win that argument all that often, I have tried...

I guess I'm odd. I wear my differences with a proud defiance.

One reason I went Honda was money. I got more bike for less money.

Everyone get's what he wants or in my case what I could or wanted to afford. If I were in a "hafta" to buy to fit in scenario I would just fall out and ride with pride ...

Most of my problems or disagreements with Hardley guys end when they are traveling in my tread marks trying to keep up....

What I saved on the "X" allowed me to keep the Shadow for the wife and buy a bike for the grandkids. They all have two wheels and were made, "somewhere", who cares.

Enjoy the new ride ....
