A few years back I rented a H.D in Las Vegas. The thing was brand new with 100 miles on it. It was the world’s largest piece of shit. It had radials and rode like crap. The dam thing could barely break 85 mph. Not only that I road that bike for 250 miles and my tailbone was killing me. My arms were numb from the vibration and had a head ace from the dam exhaust fumes.
