Harley Davidson – My Rant.

In my opinion, Harley Davidson is fucking things up.

I gotta get this out.

First off, the six gallon tank:    I get it, you gotta change something to sell more bikes.   but, the 5 gallon tank design has been around since 1934 and it looked pretty damn good.    Harley, you fucked that up.    I’m just going to say it.    You did that a few years ago.    It doesn’t look nearly as good as a 5 gallon tank.    You bloated the look.

And the 2014 bikes:     You changed the faring, and you changed the hard bags.     A vent?   You put a vent in the faring.    And your douche bags on the sales floor are telling me its for air flow, or some crap?   The whole bike is a vent.   It’s why we ride it.    hah, a vent??

Its a motorcycle.     The whole bike has adequate ventilation.      You can fart at 40 miles per hour and no one will notice, even your passenger.    The batwing faring has been around since the 60’s.    It worked and looked pretty good.

Now you rounded out the saddle bags on  your touring models.    Sorry, it looks honda-ish.

I hate the changes.    Change something else.

Harley is not the best bike out there.   In fact, its one of the worst, compared to a metric bike.    They’re slower, don’t last as long, and more expensive to fix and maintain.    even a fucking windshield bushing costs 25 dollars.     I buy it because of tradition.    I buy it because it looks like what my grandfather rode, or my dad rode.    You had it right in 1934.    Japanese bikes change every few years.    Don’t do what they do.   Change something else, not the look.

Whew!  I feel better 🙂
