This had me laughing. I went to a HD dealer first when looking for a bike because I thought I wanted an Iron 883 or an FDX because it would be badass, then I started doing this math in my head. Needless to say I never went back and started looking at Yamaha.
And honestly the only reason to buy a HD is if you're an 'Merikan and you buy 'Merikan made products. But like all 'Merikan's they can't do the math because our math scores our lower than other wealthy countries.

I wrote that in 2004 or 5
we can now go to craigs list and see that superglide at 5 years old goes for10,000
but that is not the sad part
the sad part is after 10 years, the same principles apply, no one has seen the truth
it amazes me how they start listing the bikes like this
33 thou invested, will sell for 20
and you see it listed every day for 6 months as the price goes down each week, finally it is
Harley for sale price reduced for quick sale 8999
and even then it sits for weeks
the only way they can get the outrages prices the dealers do is that they offer financing, no one is going pay cash for one when they want over 10gs
plus the market seems to be flooded, out here in the LA area there is a Harley for sale on every corner
And the sad part about that isHarley does make a fine bike, it may not be high performance but it has real steel and leather seats, paint is top of the line. If they would just get their heads out of their asses they would probably wipe the Japs asses but they refuse to move into the 21st century.
off the big twin water cooled, gear driven primary and overhead cams without push rods, not something designed in the 1930s
oh well I regress, and would rather drive a VTX bagger for a touring bike
and yes that means plastic and watercooling

I was going to buy a Victory Vegas before I found my Z8.

So I almost started a new thread, but figured this was a good place to add....today I saw a moron on a Harley riding with a kids toy Iron Man mask on....really....it obviously must have been real easy to see with and very comfortable too (sarcasm) because he was going 15-20 under the speed limit.

one of my favorite quotes from American Angst
"Tell me I'm jealous of all of your raw American power. What power? Fifty-something horsepower from a 1300cc air cooled twin cylinder that has all the grace of a unbalanced paint shaker at Wal-mart? Yeah, that's impressive, like a cow powered by a mouse fart. I've had powerful toys before, I've been around power. A HD doesn't generate power, it only generates apathetic pity."
bwahahah love this so much!
