You are the coolest. I wonder, you must be one of very few, if not the only person that has had a trouble free and reliable HD. The Atlanta Police Dept went to HDs, from Kawasaki’s about 10 years ago. Nothing but problems. Repair orders went from a small stack, mainly routine maintenance, on the Kawasaki’s to stacks a foot high or more on the HDs. Most of which were extremely expensive to fix. Both the cops riding them and the guys working on them, hate them.
But you’re the best. And I’m sure it got you the ladies. They got you to give them a ride around the block, you thought you were gonna get laid, bought them some drinks and then they left with nothing more than a peck on the cheek.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess you don't talk to many Harley owners. If their reliability was truly as wretched as you claim, how do they continuously capture over 50% of the heavy-weight motorcycle market?

Sounds anecdotal to me. Couldn't find anything along those lines during a quick Google search. Looks like APD still uses Harley, so my guess is your claim is BS or issues were resolved.
BTW I have that vintage bike. The main issue with them is hot engine temperatures. I have the first year of the then-new 96cid engine. Rode it through the Valley of Fire during the summer and have sat in NYC bumper to bumper traffic for hours. Not a single issue other than a sweaty crotch. And FYI that engine is no longer in production. The new big twins run a lot cooler.

This is all very amusing to read. As were a few of your other anti-Harley fantasies posted earlier. But I'm not exactly sure how to respond. How am I supposed to prove you wrong? Not like you can look this up on Google. But I'll do my best:
What you just wrote was not typical of what I experienced. Girls don't go up to guys in bars and ask for rides just for the sake of a quick ride on a motorcycle. They're not going to risk their life on a stranger in which they have no idea if he's under or over the limit if they didn't want more out of it. And once they are on it, the sound, the vibration, the speed, the city lights and the wind makes them primal. That's not where the night ends.
