Grampi the one thing we can count on is you never have facts when it comes to Harleys.



Just because you don't like the info I present doesn't mean it isn't fact...oh wait a minute, yes it does...


What info?

For me, none. Though the number of Harleys I've ridden is small.

Once over a 2 day period I saw 3 different Harleys do a weird wobble on the freeway.

I have zero doubt that some Harleys have wobble problems.



You saw 3 Harleys wobble on a freeway. I saw a Honda wobble today where they had put tar in the cracks. Does that mean Honda has a wobble problem?
Years ago we rode the Tail of the Dragon. Two riders complained of a death wobble. Both were fine after we aired up their tires. One was a Triumph and the other Honda CBR. Only Harley I've been around that had a bad wobble also had 22lbs in each tire. Plus they pushed the bike into the turn faster than they should.

I have seen steering stabilizers on a number of different brands of motorcycles. The early Kawasaki two stroke bikes came from the factory with them. A friend of mine experienced the high speed wobble once and he said he just knew he was going to crash, but held on for dear life and it settled down after about 20 very scary seconds. He was riding a Harley Softail at the time.

No I'm old. You didn't answer the question which was what Harley info have you given that has real facts in it.

My Kawasaki two strokes were a hand full even with a steering damper. My CBR's would wobble when the neck bearing were worn. My fault for not checking not the bikes. Harley Softail is not a high speed bike.

Over a 2-day period. Yeah it looks like a problem to me. Not a 1-off like your Honda wobble. Though Honda of course had a well known issue too on the ST1300 police bikes.

I've read your "facts" for years and they are not facts. You love to make up stories. Facts are real.

He calls his opinions facts. LOL He is just a grumpy old Harley hater that is in denial.

Not a 1 off, that was just today. Every bike I've ridden have wobbled on tar strips. You have no idea why those bikes wobbled. Could be the road, bad tires,speed, new rider or poor maintenance. If the three you saw were Yamaha's would you brand all Yamaha's having a problem?

I didn't brand all Harleys as having a problem. Seriously can you read? This is the second time you've distorted what I said in order to dismiss it.

And as I've already said it wasn't about seeing 3 Harleys wobble. It was about seeing 3 Harleys wobble over the course of 2 days (two consecutive days) if I didn't make myself clear.

I didn't distort anything. Read what you wrote. I asked if you saw three Yamaha's wobble; over any period of time, would you brand all Yamaha's with having a wobble problem? That's what you did about Harley's

Grampi you must have been denied something from a Harley dealer to have your mind set. Unlike you, I love to ride different bikes built for different purposes. You always have a Harley problem story that is not a real story. All of the bikes you have owned have had problems. Buy a bike and go riding. Stop trying to sound like an expert on Harley's.

XB12s were surprisingly fun for a bike with such a limited RPM range.

It's obvious you are a big HD cheerleader and in your eyes they can do no wrong...Harleys are perfect and have never had any issues whatsoever...snowflakes....

Snowflake? I thought that was for the uninformed who got caught making up facts. Get a mirror snowflake. Grampi just admit you have no facts and have just been spreading made up stories. Every bike has problems. None are perfect.
