Indeed they are. I might even consider them to be among the most dedicated. And yes, those bikes look to be complicated machines to fix. I'm not knocking the older Harley guys, heck I was one ( still old though) myself. It just seems the younger crowd are buying them for different reasons. Cheers

Yes I hear they are fast. I don't understand why 40,000 miles on a bike seems like a lot. Everyone told me not to buy a Sporty but I did. After 8 years and about 70,000 miles it had never a problem. Mind you I did my own work and took good care of it. My bud has over 100,000 miles on his '99 Dyna.

Well, when you have an average rider only putting 3-5k miles on their bike /per year/, 40k is 8-12 years of riding. That's a lot, to most people. -Kurt On Thu, Nov 17, 2011 at 9:03 AM, Ian Edward Baker harleyincan...@gmail.comwrote: Yes I hear they are fast. I don't understand why 40,000 miles
