Part of the recent plan to re invent HD? "We hate our legacy customer" Makes you wonder. |

I've owned 4 HD's in the last 4 years...all vintage. Just sold my last one (65 Police Special 2 weeks ago). Thought about buying new, but I just don't relate to the styling of those bikes and I too find the current sales approach a turn off. Hipsters sales people who "Jam" sporadically on the dealerships instruments that are set-up more centrally on the sales floor than the bikes! I was talking to one of them about a new Nostalgia last year when they broke into a song and I couldn't hear a damn thing the sales rep was saying!!!

I respect HD as they lead the cruiser industry forever, but I just could never get into the "HD or Nothing" mantra that everyone was chanting a few years ago. I remember going to a bike night when I had a Ducati and not one of the HD guys would even talk to me, not to mention that I have no idea how each owner of a black Harley could find his bike in the mass of black ones.
I still wanted an American-made big cruiser so I bought a Victory Vegas. I loved that bike, but when I got married and had my son, I sold it. Just too dangerous with the antique drivers (the people not cars) where I live. Maybe another someday, but since they canned Victory in lieu of Indian, even they lost me. I'll check one out when the time comes, but that whole deal stunk it up too.

Did the same thing Mark. Rode all thru the 90's until my son was born and packed them in. Started up again in 2015, but like many things...it isn't the same as it was back then Riding now is 10 times more dangerous then it was in the 90's...

I used to ride all over the US and Canada on a 900 Kawasaki in the 70's. Now I barely get to a stop light on my Harley. We're five miles from a stoplight where I live, though.

Thanks Crush. This one was even nicer, but not nearly as rare as the tank shift bike...
