No of coarse not.
They are not a bad MC, nor are they the best.
Buying a HD is similar to buying a corvette...... let me explain.
If a person wants a Harley, a Honda will not fill the bill.
If a person wants a corvette any 2 door sports car will not due.
They are buying a brand name.
There are many "better" bikes out there.
There are reasons people want a Harley and nothing else will work for them.
Harley has some of the most loyal customers of any product.
The reasons vary with each person, but the under lying common denominator is the "Harley" name.
I don't bash anyone for the make or model they ride. Just glad they are part of the motorcycle community.
