Harley Davidson riders are among the most feeble minded
people in the world and Vito proves it with his justifying
the many Harley major breakdowns on the basis that
parts are available. Of course parts are available.
There would be NO Harleys on the road if this were
not the case.


I'd be offended if you weren't so feeble minded that you cannot comprehend
what you read.

I don't know of "the many Harley breakdowns" you run on about and suspect
you heard all about them from people who never owned a Harley.

My 15 year old H-D crossed the country a dozen times, did any number of 1000
mile days, racked up over 200,000 miles and never ever left me stranded. It
never HAD a major breakdown. After 90+ 000 miles it went from zero oil
consumption to a quart every 2000 miles, but ran fine and H-D fixed it free.
10-15000 mikes later it quit charging, a problem Hondas have every 10,000
miles, so I rode it to a nearby dealer where it was fixed for free. While
fixing it he found a porous spot on an engine case that'd caused no problem
for over 100,000 miles but when I got home my dealer replaced the cases and
all the lower end bearings, again for free. I find that remarkable.

I have owned and enjoyed 3 or 4 of every brand of rice plus BSAs, Triumphs
and Enfields, a dozen BMWs, and a Ducati. They have all been good bikes,
each in its own way, but not one has given me any better service than my
many H-Ds.
