Have they really ever done anything to you?
Harley makes a nicer bike. Just more expensive

I don't hate them or their bikes. If I could afford it I would get a new screamin eagle street glide. But I still wouldn't get rid of my roadie

I want that same exact bike!
And I'd keep my roadie too

I concure its not a hate its just a lack of tolerance for the superiority complex that the brand gives to some of its owners usually fixed with a good spanking between stop lights in my experiance or atleast silenced if not fixed

Re:why do we hate them (hd) so much 1 Year ago  
I dont hate HD. Matter of fact, I like them alot and plan on putting an Electa Glide in my stable some day. What gets under my skin are the jackasses that ride them 10 miles, round trip, to thier favorite watering hole dressed head to to in their orange and black uniform and brag about what badass, hard core bikers they are and how much other brands suck. This isnt really HD's fault, its the image that their customers have created over time. There are far more nice HD riders, but the few jackasses out there seem to make a more memorable impact. In short....I like the bikes but hate the posers.

HD has better chrome and the paint jobs are awesome I just can't afford one and the R* is the next best thing and is easy for me to work on but then I could do the same with a HD. They are great bikes just not some of the snobs that ride them.

Re:why do we hate them (hd) so much 1 Year ago  
Owned three HD's last year, an 89 EVO softail, a '97 FLH,
and an '01 Road King. Same period, I owned three R*'s.
I sold two R*'s, and three HD's.

Don't hate HD's or the folks who ride them. My thinking
is, the R* is the better of the two for the price, IMHO.

If I could afford two, one would be another
Road King.

First off I don't hate Harley at all , was very close to getting one before I bought
the Road Star . But I also don't think they make a NICER BIKE especially for the price of a HD !!

Dollar for dollar they DON'T make a Nicer bike , not even close !!!!
