Numbers slowly increase as winter approached every year, just not as high as the previous winter. :old:

Been predictable to a point for 35+ years.

Do a search on utube for harley problems. The M8 is garbage. The twin cam had problems. Last decent engine was the EVO.  Prices are through the roof for a product that has known problems.

Rode a 51 pan for thirty years without ANY problems. Last bike a 06 for $14k cost me 2 grand for the chip and  an exhaust system that didnt sound like a vacuum cleaner..

If I could still ride I would build a a pre 83 shovel wide glide 6" over in black...

Heres the twin cam problems. M8s are different problems.

The only real problems I've seen on Twin Cams are the tensioners for the chains. Those are pretty much a consumable, regardless of what they're in. Every engine manufacturer has them fail, it's a matter of how well you maintain it and how hard you beat on it. You can get rid of them with an S&S kit. You can also use high quality synthetic oil, and a good oil cooler and triple the life span.

The M8, that's another train wreck entirely. Those things have ugly oiling system issues, and if the valvetrain has a problem, it's really ugly. But they have some pretty serious power potential. You just need to get all your stuff from someone like George Bryce at Star Racing.

Both the Twin cam and M8 could have a crank problem, I haven't seen many of them fail though.

I really like my Twin Cam bikes. I wouldn't own an M8.

Getting rid of the eurotrash at the top of HD was a good start. Now instead of trying to sell everyone a $90K CVO, selling real base models at a reasonable price is a good start. If they want to attract a younger clientele, add more and cheaper Rev Max bikes.  I'm talking things like the Bronx. Anyone that watches Moto America and likes the hooligan bikes wants a real hooligan and not a stripped down and tweaked Pan AM. It's also a good look that the new guy in charge signed up for the new rider program and went to a dealership to experience what the buyer sees. It would have been better to get an actual rider, but this was a good look.

As far as Indian goes... I have no idea how it is going to go. I hope it works out for them because they were kicking HD's tail, and they needed it. We as a customers need them to keep HD in check.

There are the usual low count days. But on there has been primetime numbers near 120.
Fridays seems to be a peak day.

Primetime usually starts gearing down at 9:30pm CT.
Last night at 11pm CT there was still 73-78 in the MA, 58 in FSO.

The Midwest is starting to feel Fall set in after a California type summer this year. Every day was stunning weather. But that’s ending for the most part. Most outdoor events are iver

There is still a low but steady stream of new and return players. I’ve helped 4 myself the last two weeks. I inly fly 1-3 hrs 5 days a week.

Just sayin (tm Pasha) we should see winter numbers rise.

Tomorrow I start weather predictions, for a small fee

There are areas where compromise is possible, and sometimes even desirable.

But there are also belief systems, and desires, that are simply incompatible, as they are diametrically opposed.

There is also the truth, factual and objective, and there is everything else. Somewhere someone came up with this bizarre "your truth" concept.

The polarization we see is the result of absolute incompatibility of some beliefs, principles, and ideals.

A year ago or so we adopted a bob tail cat from the pound. I named him Djoser after the ancient early Egyptian Pharaoh who is credited with building
the first pyramid (granted it was a step pyramid). He is either full or part pixie bob and as the pound warned, he is extremely rambunctious. He actually
hides and ambushes me but as my wife and I always say, "gotta luv him!"  :D
