I just love walking into work and our server room has several alarms going off.....

Good choice.

THIS is a must have on helmets.

That's what makes our hobby/lifestyle so great. We have endless options on what type of bike we want to ride. I'd like one of each but my money tree died....

LOL, that took me a second to get it.

I know how you feel, my neighbor had a chopper that needed carb work, but insisted on running it 12:30 at night and revving the crap out of it. Most HD riders own them for the image and trailer their bikes everywhere. There are some that are true riders though.

I guess I stirred up a shit storm. Sorry I didn't jump on the bandwagon lol

I would consider the Goldwing highest in reliability of the bikes you mentioned. All of the others, have you seen very many with 75,000+ miles, or let alone see one on the road? They're good bikes, and the few people who have them take good care of them. Cruisers are cruisers, doesn't matter the brand, their technology isn't as advanced like sport bikes or sport tourers. I bought my FJR after test riding a few Harley Baggers. Great bikes, just didn't have the performance that I wanted. Most Harley issues I see are due to neglect by their owners. I just think people hate Harleys due to the stereotypical "Biker Poser" who has a Harley and abuses it bar hopping and doing burnouts.

Their technology is by no means ground breaking, but compare them to a metric cruiser in the same category. Not too many 1600cc metric cruisers.... IMO their also very simple to work on. I've rode and worked on enough non-harley cruisers to know why their soo much cheaper.

I guess this is the growing pains of introducing new features. The saddle bag fasteners where due to a change in outsourced manufacturers. Their hydrualic clutch has been nothing but problems, and it pulls harder than their cable clutches. None of them is as bad as BMW rear drive failures and buying back bikes.

I would agree with all of these statements except for the unsnapping issue. I haven't had this issue. The remote is definitely too sensitive.

I checked and they are made in China, but I have never had an issue with them since I found the cause of the tear. "All the Negative reviews" 93% of the reviewers recommend the product and it has over 4 out of 5 stars. I actually tried a nicer pair of Held gloves and sent them back due to not fitting very well. To each their own I guess...

I plan on doing a 8k mile service (Throttle Body Sync, Spark Plugs, Oil Change, Differential oil, etc).

Who doesn't like a free shirt?

IIRC they are made in Hungary. They didn't fall apart, I have found the culprit. I use to store my gloves under the windshield of my bike. Apparently there is a bolt that sticks through and was catching the fingers.

I "Winterize" with stabil and a battery tender, but I ride all 12 months of the year. When theres salt, the bike gets washed after every ride. 30 degrees is my cut-off.

I know several people with Can-Ams, and not a single one of them are happy with it. Lack of Power and it cooks you.

Welcome!

This is interesting, I always leave my side stand down when on the center stand. IDK why, maybe if it fell off the center stand maybe the side stand might catch it, although highly doubtful. I have heard stories of the kill switch wearing out on BMWs by being turned on and off too much.

I use the kickstand most of the time, but back when I had a Harley, that doesnt work. I used the kill switch on Harleys.

Welcome!

I think my biggest issue is I am spoiled having cruise control now.

It was fun, but like to be able to walk after a 400 mile day...
