True story from this past weekend. I have a buddy of mine that's a diehard HD rider told me "why you buy that cheap Chinese junk?" I told him. Didn't you just pay $38,000+ for that bike you just bought? How much did it cost you when you had to take it to shop to get repaired two weeks ago? You could here crickets.
It damn near cost him as much as our bikes cost to fix.
Then I told him. Yeah my 3 year old $1100 Hawk never left me on the side of the road either.
Nuff said.
