Harley "China Bike" Davidson-Take it or leave it attitude
The day I purchased my 2009 Rocker I also bought a $800 seat upgrade. Installed it and a month later started feeling the rear fender bucking the back of the seat. Part that Harley looked up was not for my bike.
Resolution? Dealer said I should have let them install seat, that I should ride the bucking fender bike 4 hours to the dealership so they can inspect it (even though I took pics and they have a copy of the reciept), and that "they were not going to repaint the fender" even if I do take it back for inspection.
Opened and trouble ticket with Harley corporate complete with reciept and pictures. They told me it was a dealer problem.
Have since bought parts to correct the problem and they too were wrong even though they were from another dealership. Tried to make me pay a 20% restocking fee on a $300 part because they ordered the wrong part?
Yes Harley, their dealerships, and their bikes suck. They are being made cheaper with more parts from China everyday. Soon we can call Harley's rice burners.
Don't you dare call Harley
Don't you dare call Harley Rice Burners....that's an insult to every rice burner....lol.... Rice burners out last Harley's 4 to 1 on the road.....Give me a rice burner any day.....I want to ride..... not spend my time and money in the Harley shop.....I hear that 98% of the Harleys are still on the road.....the other 2% made it home.......lol
Hi all, I outgrew the need to
Hi all,
I outgrew the need to feed my ego with a Harley many years ago. They suck, have always suck and will always suck! Mine was a real POS! Every time I walked anywhere near it, it sucked the money out of my pockets. After a few years I gave up and sold the pig, and never was happier!
Since that great day I have ridden just about all the Jap and English bikes. Loved them all compared to the Hardley! My wife also rides, a Honda 600 VLX.
So, here's my story..... This past weekend we were out tooling around Acadia when some J-offs on their pig bikes pulled up to us. I was on my Honda, 1100 Spirit, wifey on her VLX. These Bozos wanted to show off and started revving like mad. My wife gave me 'the nod', so we waited 'till the light changed and smoked their a$$es. At the next light the dirtbag in front pulled up next to me and asked what size my bike was. I told him "1100cc". He said, "Bull--it, no 1100 could beat his Screamin' Weasel". I responded that not only did one just beat him, but so did a 600cc!"
He was noticeably p!ssed! They pulled off at the first oppertunity and we laughed all the way home. Funny thing is, we have less in both our (relatively new) bikes than he has in his one POS!
Now, it's about time to find my next ride. After a little research I think I'll go with the Yamaha Raider. They eat Hardleys for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And that's bone stock!
Let the great uninformed keep their obsolete, overpriced, underpowered, pig metal bikes, I'll take superior engineering, styling, horsepower and handling any day, and at much less $! Gotta love it!
Thank you Harley-Davidson for making every other manufacturer's bikes overall better than yours! Good luck with that!
