Alatamoc,, If I had that kind of problems with H.D. I would feel like you do, for sure. I can only speak to my own experience which has been just fine with my Harleys and Triumphs. I have bought 2 new Harley's and 3 used ones along with my Triumph America, all have been flawless. Just lucky I guess. P.S. Most of my friends ride Harley bikes and they seem happy with them. I bought the Triumph because it is lighter and I'm tired of just looking at the hoards of Harley's out there.
