Harley-Davidson recalls 185K cycles for saddlebag issue

probably a Chinese spring latch that saved Harley a dollar.

I predict the HD will actually make money from the recall

My Brother-in-Law buys a couple hundred bucks worth of Harley Gear and upgrades every time he sets foot inside the showroom

yep, HD = hundreds of dollars.

Good. I hope they take all those bikes right to the junkyard.

I hate when one of those things pull up next to me at a light and I have listen to the loud obnoxious idle.

My buddy bought a BMW motorcycle. I don`t know a lot about bikes, but I do know this one is as fast as balls and the windows on my whole block don`t vibrate when he drives it over my house.

i like to hear a deep rumble from my Harley, but those straight pipe guys can get pretty annoying and that "loud pipes save lives" mantra is a crock. a good free flow performance exhaust doesn`t have to be that loud. (ronkh, your vette has that perfect sound) bmw`s are nice, but Harleys have that whole made in the USA, history and heritage thing that a lot of people still like. wouldn`t give mine up.

I never hear them idle. The owners are always revving them up at stop lights and blipping the throttle.

If loud pipes save lives, imagine what learning how to ride can do.
