Fair enough, that would make sense for them. Maybe try to get Ford to buy them up or some such thing.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from American TV, it’s that guns solve every issue.

I’m sure there’s way more folks in gridlock than there are street racers. Just keep pouring rounds, you’ll win, I’m sure of it.

Come on America, you folks all have guns. No one would fault you for solving this issue yourselves...

Oh, tons of folks start on cruisers, no debate there. But you’re not starting on a giant, heavy cruiser, even if you’re short. You would’ve started on a Street 500 or 750 back in the day. Now you’ll just start on a Rebel 500, Boulevard C50 or Vulcan 650, because Harley’s current smallest bike is wildly inappropriate…

They probably sold “eh”, and their margins were likely terrible, but you keep them as the entry point to your brand. I said below, but I’m only in my second year of bike sales, and I already have people coming back to move up from their entry-level bike. And for people that started on one particular brand, they almost…

And as two of those competitors, I’m tremendously thankful they’re handing me that market on a silver platter. I’m just thinking from Harley’s perspective, it’s extremely stupid to give up the entry point to your brand.

While I agree that it’s unrealistic to ask Porsche to do entry-level cars, I’m not certain I agree with it being comparable. Porsche is one brand within a multibillion conglomerate. There are entry-level Porsches, we just call them Volkswagen, SEAT and Skoda. Harley Davidson, in comparison, is the only thing they’ve…

This still doesn’t really fill the void for guys looking to dip their toes in to the brand, at least as best as I see it. No one is starting on an Electraglide or Road King, even if the price becomes a bit cheaper (Which doesn’t change the way the used bike market currently is anyways).

To each their own, but them becoming an online retailer means they’ve officially become irrelevant to me. I liked perusing the local store, buying games I hadn’t even thought of on a whim, and supporting the local owner.

It is not turned 180 degrees, why do people always say that ridiculous crap? If it was turned 180 degrees the vehicle would drive backwards.

The two sets of front holes are due to the front plate holder having been removed, and the owner having likely bolted a plate straight to the front. As for this car, I’d definitely buy it for an engine swap option (Those Iron Dukes are just horrible), as the rest of it looks to be in great shape.

I like that the final question gives you the chance to turf the rest of the survey outright.

I hope the plaintiff loses hard, and has to pay for the legal fees of the defendant.

Straight up mileage will kill motors too. Metal gets stressed and suffers work hardening, and little bits of wear add up.

Yeah, if I got that kind of quote, I’d hoof it out of there. Save that money and go on a vacation. Maybe see Venison the summer.

“That’ll be $2,000.”

Most people will turf a vehicle once the cost of maintaining exceeds the cost of replacing, so the fact thing isn’t being too fussy to keep on the road is impressive. Hell, the fact that rotating assembly has likely cycled over  three billion times without failing, or wearing itself out of spec, is amazing.

My only hope though, is that by proudly announcing it, the EPA just got an admission of guilt and can send the fine along easy peasy now.

That’s fair enough, Shania Twain, but for the rest of us: 1.3 million miles on a motor/truck is impressive as all hell, regardless of timeframe. To put it in perspective, if there was a road that circled the earth, he could’ve done so a little over 52 times already, and the vehicle is still functional.
