"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.

That's the way I think about 1911 pistols compared to my glocks or HKs."

Hmmmm, thats a good way to sum it up. Its not that I dislike Harley's, I"m just not a very good wrench turner. I don't have the time nor the inclination. When I do have the free time to indulge myself on a ride, I want to jump on mine Intruder and "Go!".

Harley's need TLC.....and I don't have time for that.

That's why I ended up selling my Kimber 1911 and buying a glock 23 - I love the 1911 and think it's probably the best pistol ever invented in terms of shooting enjoyment. But even a high-quality pistol like the Kimber jams up at matches unless you baby it, and I just don't have time to learn gunsmithing. No one understands why I did the trade until I analogize it to the difference between Harley's and Yamahas.
