I guess a man got to do what he thinks best for him and his family. Back in March of 77, I made the decision to stop riding after my second son was born I quite. Worst most boring day of my life. I'll probably leave this life on mine .
I'm riding an 08 S/E Ultra Classic no seat vibration at all handle bars a little when setting still wife loves it. 110cu of raw stomping get away quick power.
I can tell you haven't rode a Harley lately. I've also owned three Honda Goldwings an 86,91 and a 95. Never got use too the setting position. Big heavy bikes ware you out around town with a passenger on road fine for trips with extended pegs.
Through almost 50 years of riding the roads on two wheels various motorcycles I've learned and accepted one important thing, "Man must know his own limitations on two wheels."
I had a 71 Triumph 650 Boneville had rear brake on left and gear shifter on right. That bike pulled like a tractor a bundle of torque in those days. Made a street flat tracker out of it a joy too ride.
They already know why, its a cheap simple design that doesn't necessarily make it the best design for an air cooled motor. I had no problems with one oil I my Venture, but I see problems in the long run with the Polaris Indian.
Freebird if you are riding an air cooled Harley, stick with much better motor than Polaris Indian. Indian engine oil is also the transmission and primary too which is bad for an Air cooled engine. Oil is contaminated 50 miles after its changed. Whereas Harley has separate oil cases. I think transmissions need gear oil anyway.
Hey, just heard they give a promotional $2000 on all Harley and Indian trade ins. I'm personally beating a trail to the Yama dealer in the morning and get my name on the waiting list.
