I own a Triumph, a Suzuki and 2 Harley's, I mostly enjoy this site because it generally has a more mature group of riders, riders who own a fair variety of bikes and don't fall back on tiresome cliches as to brands and stereotypes. I hope I have not been kidding myself.



I am not qualified to speak to any maturity levels, but the comments got me thinking. In addition to owning a fair range of motorcycle brands over the years, I often ride with diverse groups of riders. And I cannot think of any one brand that I have seen that never had a problem. Not constant, but if you put enough miles on, something will go amiss. any brand (every brand).
maybe the perception of HD is what it is because there are so many more out there.
