Retired 23 years
Years ago the first time my wife tried to drive my 350 Honda MC she crashed it. Then she got mad at me because I was more concerned about my bike than if she was hurt (I knew she wasn't). Women --go figure.
Good luck with the new oneBought it Tuesday 7/24- it's a 2017 with 1500 miles on it. Bought it from an 80 year old that is having medical issues. The 2011 Ultra Classic is now for sale. Pretty late in the season to be selling it though so I expect I will be sitting on it all winter.
Thats his wife's.
The little scooter is his.
Couldn't really use a scooter for where I live, but I think one would be a blast for some areas around the lakes or beaches here.
Their fan base is aging out of the market. I promise their old style bikes will remain in production for a long time to come so there's nothing wrong with expanding one's offerings.Electric Harley? Not exactly targeting their loyal fan base.

If it don't leak oil it ain't a real Harley.I've ridden 2 Buells. Both of them I felt were let down by their dinosaur hotrodded 1200 Sportster engines. One ride was a demo ride on an M2 Cyclone. It reminded me of a riding mower with its stock exhaust. The other one was one belonging to a riding associate on the way down to Laguna Seca. It puked and burned 3 quarts of synthetic along the way. On a subsequent ride it snapped the front exhaust pipe.
I chose to stay upwind of him for most of the ride.If it don't leak oil it ain't a real Harley.
Maybe it will be equipped with an optional 150 db loudspeaker and an mp3 of some ratty knucklehead.Electric Harley? Not exactly targeting their loyal fan base.
I could easily ride a scooter to work if I modified my route a bit.Couldn't really use a scooter for where I live, but I think one would be a blast for some areas around the lakes or beaches here.
Looks like it was made for dodging jeepneys in the Philippines or cruising for boy/girls in Thailand.That new Harley ADV is ugly as hell.
You going to make the trip next year for Indy?I've ridden 2 Buells. Both of them I felt were let down by their dinosaur hotrodded 1200 Sportster engines. One ride was a demo ride on an M2 Cyclone.

You guys taking off on this years trip today?I've ridden 2 Buells. Both of them I felt were let down by their dinosaur hotrodded 1200 Sportster engines. One ride was a demo ride on an M2 Cyclone.

I like it, actually.That new Harley ADV is ugly as hell.
I’m not really sure if Harley is losing it’s fan base. Hanging around the Harley shop I see a lot of 30-40 year old guys and gals hanging out there. My 2011 Ultra has never leaked a drop of oil. The old ones did though but then again so did a lot of other brands (except maybe the Jap bikes). I do agree it’s about time Harley added something different. If anything is going to kill the motorcycle industry it will probaby be because they are way to expensive for what you get. My Tri Glide listed for $37,045 new. NO I didn’t pay that much but it was still too much. My wife insisted I buy it because I’m such a nice guy.If it don't leak oil it ain't a real Harley.
