I'm not a big fan of Harley's reliability, however. Bottom line for me has always been if you like tinkering with your bike as much as you do riding it, Harley's the brand for you, if you can afford it. Bah, you're 20 years out of date. Not a lot of tinkering to be done on modern HD's. EFI with appropriate sensors, multi-curve electionric ignitions, self-adjusting valves, kevlar belts, etc etc, have all made HD one of the most reliabe bikes around.
The own it to wrench it motto is 25 years out of date.

Sorry, but I disagree. My neighbor has a Harley. In the three years since he purchased it, I've had to pick him up twice after it broke down.
Its a work of art, no doubt about it. However, reliability isn't a strong point in my opinion when you talk about Harley's. I know, I know, heresy....(grin)
