It makes us better HERE.. this a Triumph site. Unfortunately that doesn't extend beyond these hallowed halls.
And for you folks who don't like Harley bashing.. simple answer. DON'T READ THE THREAD!...
As much crap as I have to put up with about what I chose to ride, I say bash away.. (in fact "other bikes" includes Harley bashing in it's header) this is the only place I'm not made to feel inferior because of that.
And a lot of people.. not all .. bought a Harley because their peers told them that is the ONLY bike to buy.. not because they chose it.. or it them but because they didn't look around at their options to chose something that better suits them. I look around daily and see 5'2" women weighing 100 pounds riding Fat Boys and Road kings.. folks, this is not the bike they should be riding but it's because their peers have led them to believe that a Harley is the ONLY bike to buy, they are out on the road with a bike that they are not physically capable of handling.
I bought my bike because of the looks and the fit.. didn't know anything about Triumph but it was a reasonably priced bike with a good warranty and after 5 years and over 30000 miles, it has never left me stranded.. I'd say that's a pretty dang good service record.
And Rob... the side covers come off because they were not properly installed..
