heatonmt Posted April 17, 2011 #1 Posted April 17, 2011 is there a link to the harley site on our site
Monty Posted April 17, 2011 #2 Posted April 17, 2011 Like this site? Good luck with that. You could try the Harley Owners Group (HOG) forum. I think you'll find they're not as friendly or helpful as the folks here.
mini-muffin Posted April 17, 2011 #4 Posted April 17, 2011 You can ask about Harley's on here. The guys are pretty knowledgeable about all bikes. Most have owned plenty over the years. Margaret
Freebird Posted April 17, 2011 #5 Posted April 17, 2011 Hey...we love bikes of all kinds here....Venture Royales AND Royal Star Ventures AND Royal Stars. Seriously, many of us have owned many different brands and enjoyed them all. We don't care what you ride and will answer any questions to the best of our ability... or....we'll make something up.

twigg Posted April 17, 2011 #7 Posted April 17, 2011 is there a link to the harley site on our site The problem with Harley sites is that they are populated with guys who like Harleys. Most of those guys are perfectly decent, perfectly reasonable folk, but they do have a higher proportion of those who are neither decent nor reasonable, and they make a lot of noise. On the other hand .... if it is technical info you want, those guys know their bikes. They kinda have to because they get their hands dirty, a lot So ask your questions and you'll get good information .... Start giving opinions and .... It is worth bearing in mind that there are no good technical reasons why HD exist. They don't make the best bikes, they never have. They are slow to innovate and they are frighteningly expensive for what they are, When the other US bike makers went bust, HD should have gone with them, but with Govt. support and some very good marketing, they survived. Right now they look like they might not survive next time around. On the other hand ... A motorcycle is a motorcycle ... ride what you like and welcome to the club
Black Owl Posted April 17, 2011 #8 Posted April 17, 2011 Hey...we love bikes of all kinds here....Venture Royales AND Royal Star Ventures AND Royal Stars. And Viragos,,,, You always forget (or ignore) the Virago.... Or does it have to get off the trailer to qualify for recognition??????
Carbon_One Posted April 17, 2011 #9 Posted April 17, 2011 And Viragos,,,, You always forget (or ignore) the Virago.... Or does it have to get off the trailer to qualify for recognition?????? Well since ya put it that way. Ya I guess so Larry
twigg Posted April 17, 2011 #10 Posted April 17, 2011 And Viragos,,,, You always forget (or ignore) the Virago.... Or does it have to get off the trailer to qualify for recognition?????? I like the Viragos .... They are very easy to ride, completely non-scary and great for those "vertically challenged". They make great learner machines too. Once their issues are resolved they are pretty reliable.
Black Owl Posted April 17, 2011 #11 Posted April 17, 2011 They are very easy to ride, . Yah mean I'm supposed to ride it? Dang, nobody ever told me that.... Learn something new every day....
twigg Posted April 17, 2011 #12 Posted April 17, 2011 Yah mean I'm supposed to ride it? Dang, nobody ever told me that.... Learn something new every day.... Nope ... You are supposed to let your wife or kids learn to ride on it
Squidley Posted April 17, 2011 #13 Posted April 17, 2011 Mike, I am also a member at HD Forums http://www.hdforums.com/ There is some good info over there, but it is NOTHING like our site. You'd better be thick skinned and used to dealing with Alphas. Depending upon what you'd like to know, there are several here as mentioned that are familiar with HD's. Scooter Bob is VERY knowledgeable with old school Shovelheads.
Black Owl Posted April 17, 2011 #15 Posted April 17, 2011 Ain't a Virago a blue pill ? It is now. Thanks to Gary's (Whoomp) paint job on it. He also tells me that with the service work he did on it, it will definately make one sit up and take notice....
bryan52577 Posted April 17, 2011 #16 Posted April 17, 2011 where can I find a good harley site like this is there a link to the harley site on our site Wow, isn't that what they call an "Oxy Moron"? Bryan
twigg Posted April 17, 2011 #17 Posted April 17, 2011 Ain't a Virago a blue pill ? Viragos are not that exciting!
Brake Pad Posted April 17, 2011 #18 Posted April 17, 2011 Your on it, Yamaha Davidson Okay, bad joke.....Sorry Freebird
mini-muffin Posted April 18, 2011 #21 Posted April 18, 2011 Well it's good to know that these guys are good at something. :crackup: Margaret
ediddy Posted April 18, 2011 #22 Posted April 18, 2011 I go a site weekly called Harleytechtalk.org. It's similar to this site in that there are several catagories. There is a general catagory for non bike related topics. The harley riders on there don't cut any slack to the "MOCO." If there is something wrong they will tell you. A few years ago they were saying harley was making the crankshafts out of silly putty. There were having trouble with the cranks breaking. You can tell the people are aren't the same as the people on this site. I guess it's a harley thing.
dalv Posted April 18, 2011 #23 Posted April 18, 2011 I have visited V Twin Forum and HD Forum in the past. Not as good as here, but a lot of information/ Always wanted a Harley and may get one someday, but since adding the RSV to the stable - not in any rush. Since I have the full dresser, maybe a Fat Boy would be nice for tooling around town.
Aussie Annie Posted April 18, 2011 #24 Posted April 18, 2011 Try the aussie site: http://www.hdforums.com.au If you ignore the language and testosterone, there are very knowledgeable folks--and tech sections.
Yeah, Just Dale Posted April 18, 2011 #25 Posted April 18, 2011 There's no Honda site like it either. Dennis Don't agree that there are no Honda sites like this. The VRCC is a Honda site, it's also very good, lots of help, friendly people.
