There bikes look cool. They sound cool. But, they’re POS and need constant, costly maintenance.

On top of that, the folks that were buying them, when it was cool, guys in their 40s, 50s, 60s aren’t buying them anymore. Or the novelty wore off and they sold them. And the younger generation isn’t into that stuff the way them old guys were. I don’t see too many liberal hipsters rolling to get their spiced chai latte on a Dynaglide. Vespa, maybe. Definitely not a hog.

Not if you live 200 ft from a busy CA. road. Those Hogs easily penetrate my dual pay windows with there noise, cars not at all.

You've obviously never owned a Harley. Why don't you quit yapping about shit you don't know about. I have an eleven year old Hog (along with a few Japanese motorcycles). Bought it new, and it has been one of my most reliable machines. It actually has the least amount of routine maintenance required of the bikes I've owned. No chain to lubricate, no valve adjustments. Only the three separate oil changes are a pain compared to the others.

PS it's their bikes, not there bikes
