What motorcycle riding is all about to me: My bike: 1972 XLCH (ironhead sporty), hardtail chopper, kickstart only, 45* rake at neck. What is riding all about to me?-raked out chopper - turns heads, easy to pick up ladys-unbaffled drag pipes - saves lives, and fun.-kickstart only- turn any girl on when they see you kick a bike and it comes to life.-harley engine - shaky, vibraty solid mounted engine will get any girl wet within 15mins of riding if you have the right passenger seat for this ;)-forward controls - like sitting in a giant lazyboy going down the road.-45*rake at frame and none at tree - anything above 25mph the steering as unbelievably stable, above 55 I can ride for HOURS without touching the bars except to adjust speed. lazyboy comes to mind again.-hardtail - makes the ladys tits bounce up and down giving me a world class upper back/ neck massage.-pullback bars - get closer to the ol lady of course.-old harley - cheap, easy to fix on the side of the road if needed. and once you have owned an old harley I can guarantee you will appreciate any newer harley you will own in the future, lol. I'm grateful to even have a Harley, not to mention my dream bike is now finished! I'm 21 years old and I started building this bike with this list on paper three years ago and with my own two hands I finished it this past spring.

Welcome to the all-new doesharleysuck.com website.

This is a complete re-working of the site using a blog engine called "Blosxom"[1][2][3] (pronounced "Blossom"), which I am here adapting to behave like a simple Content Management System (CMS).

Hi Fellow Rider, I have a 2003 FLHTCU with roughly 9500 miles on it. When I got it in February it only had 6200 so I put more mileage on her in 6 months than the previous owner put on it in half the time he owned it. I did one service on it so that I could be sure all the service was up to date.

I used synthetic oil and had the service done by the local H.D. Shop. Some of my background includes a Honda 350, and 63 Sportster, a 75 BMW R75/5 (750), A Ducati 650 single, a Honda GL 1000, a Suzuki 1000, a Yamaha V-Star 1100, and my current 03 FLHTCU.

Of all those bikes I am most satisfied with the current one. There is absolutely nothing to compare to the feeling of "Rolling Thunder". The new Harley is absolutely the nicest bike I've ever owned. It runs extremely well, has zero oil leaks, gets good gas mileage, and handles a lot better than I thought it would.

Actually it handles better than my old GL1000 and is more fun to ride than my old BMW R75/5 (750). It's also the first bike I've owned that my wife actually likes. All in all I have to say I love my Harley Davidson.

This bike has proven to me that there is only one REAL motorcycle, and that's a Harley.

I have and still am a harley owner but one of a different type and kind. When I see things for exactly what they are and are not. After getting many of these letters with many different issues pertaining to the american V-twin and longest reigning of all. Not to mention of all that once were. I feel there comes a time and place to call it quits for either owning the machine. Or crying about all the so-called problems when is enough just that. We all must take some sort of responsibility for our choice in anything we do buy. Well in knowing this!

I own a 2008 Harley Fat Boy. Have 3200 miles on it this season alone (I've only had it since Nov 30,2008 I Live in Ohio). I love it!!!!!! The ride is smooth and I have had no mechanical issues except the heated grips not working. The dealer fixed them under warranty and my season has been wonderful thus far. I purchased my bike in November and only had two miles on the meter. What a season!!! It's harley all the way for me.

Thanks for listening
