Have had a Harley as long as I can remember, more than a few over the years, my 2016 road king is now gone in a trailer to bike trader. Reasons obvious, outsourcing to Thailand, their goal of converting kids into the sex they are not, ect. The whole thing really is damn depressing. But I guess this is what they wanted when you hire a German environmentalist as the CEO of what was arguably the most American Company on the planet.

Thanks for taking one for America! Surprisingly few will make even a small sacrifice for our republic.

I just heard that their re-booting a new season of Sons of Anarchy to boost sales and stock price, Yahoo news said that Harley Davidson and the producers are writing the new plot and new Anarchy Club and gang, all riding Harley's all new 2025 production line of E-Bike. Also their writing the plot to have the new Anarchy club leader to be the 'Abel Teller' son of Jax's, and the new leader Abel, is transitioning to female to be the the Club's new pass-around bitch.

Sad thing is I really don’t care if someone is or not, I don’t want to hear about it and if you touch my ass and you have the wrong equipment your going to be missing teeth or I’m getting my ass kicked trying. But when you start messing with kids you crossed a line that is a sign of the apocalypse if you really think that’s the right thing to do.

I have heard that Indian is trying to distance themselves from DEI, etc. Probably trying to get the H-D market.

If I was back in a motorcycle buying mood, I would look up my old friend who was in Tioga and get a mid-70s Goldwing. Those things run forever.

And the shaft drive is easy to maintain. Open the upper case plug. Open the lower, let the fluid drain. But the bottom plug back in and refill the case and put the top one back in. Done.

When the seat gets hot on those long runs it must be tough to ride a Harley. Your ass starts sweating, the Vaseline melts and starts dripping out your worn out butthole, not enough pucker to stop the jizz leaks. Damn motorcycle vibrates like a mower with a misfire. Tough life for sure.

The new HD Pooperglide come out in 2025. Two big cylinders pumping in and out....................................well the ads just write themselves.

Mine just sits in my garage now as it has basically since 2016. Every time I go to ride I just can't. I think about something happening to me (like getting wiped out by a 16 year old on a cell phone) and my kids being fatherless and wife having zero income.

Wife and I used to ride all over the Southeast but I probably won't ride much at all until my boys are grown. By then maybe Harley will get bought out by an American Company who knows the difference between boys and girls

That is exactly who I knew. He had that spot that used to be a service station a long, long time ago.

One time, a yuppie drove and wanted to park his H-D there to visit friends for Gene Autry Days and he let him.

I was looking and remarking to the rider how it was interesting that it looked like a springer front end but it was actually spring over hydraulic shock. I was evidently speaking greek. Motorcycle riders from my past were gear heads.

Dumb fuck!

That’s an Evo. The end of the line for the design that started with the Knucklehead.

An analog bike you could work on. You could put points and condenser in the nose cone if you desired to.

No problem if they nuked anything that came after but leave the Evo and earlier alone.

Retarded Harley wont even service anything older than a few model years - tards.

Are they still owned by AMF? It might explain things a bit.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see AMF doesn't even exist anymore as it used to.

Great looking bike but it’s likely underpowered for fat Americans and highway speeds.

Be great for Sunday breakfast or vacation home transport.

Made in India.

Some guy sand casts the parts using his bare feet to compact the sand.

It wouldn’t scare me away. It’s a good looking bike. Underpowered and you might want to wear flak underwear if you stress it too much.

I rode one when I was visiting India. Pretty comfortable and enough power for daily commute. The roads over there suck and traffic is insane… so I’m surprised they’re not making any major changes for the US market.

Why?

They have a market of 1.5 billion…..unless Bill Gates gets his way.

It’s actually considered expensive for a lot of folks there I guess. Most of them use 250cc or lesser powered bikes for daily commute. I saw a family of five riding on this bike called Hero Honda Splendor and they only cost $700. It looked something like this:
