Place your bets:

Will I follow through with the FXDLS, or will I cave and get an XR or an XB purely because "I have the money"? :lol:

Considering you'd have to wait a good while to get the money for a Dyna, and it would probably be used at that point.... You could probably pick up either XR or XB for the price of the used Dyna's down payment.

Not only does the Milwaukee 8 sound like a Japanese cruiser, but it sounds like a civic starting up :rolf:

Dead ringer for how a Honda Shadow sounds

Guess another dark time is upon harley, much like the shovelhead era.

 

[94RS]

So AMF-Harley all over again? :lol:

 

[R13]

Harley might not come out of it this time. We might be approaching the "phase out the combustion engine" era for Harley.

...Either that or they'll realize they fucked up, and the dyna, and vrod will be back in no time :rolf:

This is the same company that spend $125 million to shut down Buell in 2009.

Buell themselves made $135 million in 2008 after bringing out an entirely new model (1125) that they paid 100% of the development costs on since it didn't use an HD derived engine.



You really think the top people at Harley know what they're doing? :lol:

 

[R13]

Pretty bad when they can't even do Harley's right :lol:

1200mi...

 

[R13]

It's in a storage complex too...

 

[94RS]

Sounds like it has the race kit too... You know, that pipe that I paid $600 for used (though I did get about $250 in extras), $300 for a new ECM and a K&N filter...

The angle/position of the exhaust tip sure as hell checks out.

^ shitty pic, but same angle as the cl ad :lol:

 

[R13]

Too bad it would take me 4~ months to come up with 6k

If I get the job for sure maybe I can con my grandfather into fronting the cash :rolf:
