[QUOTE="El Guapo Loco, post: 1415451"] Well, first, the z-1 was a breakthrough in power train technology but far, far from "magnificent!" It had bronze bushings on it's swingarm, as just one example... It was as dangerous as it was fast, probably more so. I don't dislike harleys. I had a '09 road king last summer. I traded it for the fjr :) I have owned several harleys - just long enough to make a little money off of them. Looks like those days are gone. My thinking on this was, hey, I'm in a forum filled with riders that have 1) had the courage to choose a bike on it's merits and 2) have chosen something a tad classy, as opposed to loud and obnoxious. So I thought a more or less civilized, quasi-intellectual discussion of the "harley thing" would ensue. It did not. Only two on-topic, intelligent posts. So, my bad. Ops delete this thread, with my blessing. [/QUOTE]
