i just got back from picking up one of my co-workers. his '04 Fat Boy died on his way work. to his credit he also owns a ZX-11.

but talk about pi$$ed.

LOL, why would he be pissed? I mean, c'mon, does anyone (even HD owners themselves) really believe in the reliability of those bikes?

Kudos for his owning an Eleven though. I bought a new one back in '91 - way fast and comfortable, it was anvil reliable. I could not break that bike.

If you own a Harley you learn early on to stay close to home ...

... and carry lots of oil dry.

I'm no hater, I own one. My nighttrain has never stranded me, but it DID start leaking oil with less than 500 miles on the clock. Turns out it was just a faulty O-ring where the speedo cable goes into the tranny, but it was still a leak.
