They already outsourced away from quality manufacturing areas and are focused on the money - it can't get worse than it is, lol. A sucker is born everyday, some of them buy brand new 'D' gear.

2/10, minimal effort - do yourself a solid and never post again ;)

My guess would be you didn't call the cops because you were too busy changing your adult diaper.

Their first WSBK specials (RSV Mille R, RSV Mille SP) didn't have rear seat/pegs either, you had to order the regular bike subframe, seat, and pegs if you wanted to carry passengers.

yes, this is correct, and I will continue to indulge in making fun of people for their choices as I see fit. I may object on a "how could you have so little taste as to buy an HD" level, but I wouldn't support an initiative to make the bikes illegal or anything.

damn right, I deserve a medal. lol, "cafe" sport bikes...looks like someone was alive and riding in 1970; take it easy old man, I'm sorry some inline 4s scared you while you were taking your blood pressure pills :)

This argument holds no water at all - you know very well that sport bikes with tuned exhausts are quieter than douchey HD straight pipes. I see this constantly "well plenty of sportbike guys go too fast and are ********** too!", sure, but they're not as bad, and equating them in such a manner...

You're as free to spew your ideas as I am to spew mine. I have to put up with HD ads, see douchebaggers running straight pipes, and telling me about how good their HDs are, you have to put up with me disagreeing vehemently. Suggesting you're in some way "above" people who "intrude" on other's...

Actually I have successfully rescued a couple friends and one family member from the HD sucker scam; they listened to idiots talking about quality and reliability and didn't realize HD offers neither of those things. Let them ride one of my bikes and they realized there is no need to pay that...

You just highlighted the reason they use them - because they want to use cheap fasteners but don't want people complaining when they strip them out. Japanese and even Italian motorcycles use good quality fasteners so they don't need to use 12-pts to keep from stripping. You have this backward...

Not all of them, no, but some of them probably did die due to lack of skill. It's a sad thing. I have very few close calls even riding in LA on the daily - you telling me that Ontario drivers are a "big problem" and that you almost get merged into and have close calls tells me you're doing it...

Sounds like you're riding too slow and/or riding in people's blind spots. I've driven and ridden in many different areas - just finished a 3800km ride across the entire US to get up here - Ontario drivers are better than OK, IA, IL, and MI - by far, and in the many miles I've covered since I...

If you read my other posts you would realize that I grew up here and drove here for just over 10 years before I moved away...I'm very familiar with Ontario drivers, and they are among the most polite in North America. If they seem like such a 'big problem' to you, it might be that you are the...

driver training isn't really relevant for lane splitting - they don't even see you until you're already past. as the splitter it's your responsibility to watch for cars who will want to change lanes into empty space, signaling or not. some of this stuff you won't understand until you start...

nah, we're just trying to tell you that if you don't think splitting can be done safely you probably don't belong on a motorcycle to begin with. I see people skateboard stopping, wobbling, etc... when I ride up here a lot more than in CA. I don't think knowing how to properly use the rear...

My roommate's 999 left him stranded on the side of the road a few times, but I just posted the stupid things about Ducati that you can't argue with, rather than anecdotes. Having a Duc is supposed to be about the sound and the feeling, not saying stupid **** like "oh yes they're reliable" on...

Defective by design - belt driven cams and valve actuation system that is obsolete and offers no performance benefits over shim/bucket actuation. There are tons of issues and recalls and problems I could cite as well, but this is the main issue. Some newer models have chain/gear drive for...

Really you can already split lanes in Ontario...I've been doing it this trip, I did it the last trip, and I'll do it the next trip...I may get a fail to drive in marked lane or pass on right ticket eventually, no big deal...small price to pay for being safer from rear end collisions and not...

I've been splitting non-stop in Ontario...your opinion is cute and perhaps a reasoned argument, but it's not true. for lane splitting to work drivers just need to drive normally...signal lane changes and obey other laws. Car drivers who say its unsafe even after the study proves...

No. Correct. It isn't just revs, it's a state of tune...a 600cc engine making 120hp isn't going to last as long as a 650cc engine making 70hp, if all other factors are equal, for example, but high rpm is a factor as well. I have several bikes, no individual one has 100k on it, although a...
