although i don't and never owned a HD it's stupid that companies cave in due to this
! then the idiots that cause this don't even buy said brands, only BnM about it!
back in 1994, i had put a deposit on a new Road King (slate blue)...it may have been it's first year out, but HD aficionados would know that better than me.
however, i had also bought a new '94 T-Bird earlier as well...so the wife said, one has to go....
well, i hate snow, cold, ice, so no way, no how was i gonna be riding a motorcycle in winter....
the HD dealership hemmed and hawed about refunding my deposit (a mere $100) but they did.
if the HD wasn't like $15,000, and like maybe the $7,000 my new Suzuki was, then i'd have had me the HD.
the wife was ok, with the Suzuki.
i like the classic looks of the HD's.
Indian is a fine bike as well.
