  1.  @Cent51  It is also free speech to ridicule choices which support an anti-male, anti-Caucasian racist Motor Company. There is no right not to be exposed.

  2. You know better than to assert HD actually abandoned woke policies so why are you doing that? You have HDs assertion only.

  3. It won't matter on my machines because any such installs will never directly contact the internet or be on a PC/hdd/USB I never use for anything important. Disk space is dirt cheap so when I want Windows I fire up a suitably isolated (or not depending on use case) VM residing on my Linux main PCs. Anyone who cares can solve the problem in multiple ways and more will be available as Windows users who are stuck with it for specific software that won't run on other OS develop workarounds. This stuff is easy to learn and useful to know but most people prefer worthless entertainment instead of getting smarter every day. Gamers can just use their gaming Windows install as a toy and run another OS for online shopping etc which is also trivially easy given minimal effort. I do NOT recommend dual booting on bare metal and haven't bothered since 1999 when I figured out using a hard drive swap rack on my desktop was much more convenient. Ways to separate multiple OS on one box include: Multiple hard drives (and cutting power to the one you aren't using via an inline switch setup bought or self-assembled). Running the least secure OS in a virtual machine, which has advantages over bare metal including having a "clean install" saved as a snapshot so you can have a fresh OS quick as rebooting the VM (not the PC itself). Running Windows for gaming only (so security doesn't matter) by using it as a host OS then booting your "secure" OS from a live image using Ventoy and an external hdd (need not be a slow USB flash drive). Live Linuxes are free to try of course and you can try each image in a VM instead of writing to a USB or hdd. Live OS booted from external media are terrific for rescuing your data when your machine will not boot or crashes too early for data rescue. Any recent Ubuntu (if you're an experienced Linuxer you don't need this post so no distrowars please, save those for infants of all ages)/Xubuntu (for the more familiar interface) etc live image will do. A Windows To Go install to external media. There are other free tools besides the original MSFT like Aomei Partition Assistant. Search Youtube for the most current videos. BTW you can and I have made a Windows To Go install on a main hdd so if that PC breaks I can toss the drive into another or boot it externally using a cheap bootable USB adapter. None of this is exotic and the many text articles and forum threads cover details not suited to videos. Experiment and have some fun! It doesn't cost a dime unless you write live CD/DVD etc media which an XP user would do anyway.

  4. AMF saved the company from family mismanagement but didn't know how to run it and had labor problems. The buyout at the time was by the same executives but via the Evo they saved HD from AMF who previously saved HD. I was wrenching then and quite amused.

  5. Write more creatively. It's fun.

  6. Rossman is a man of consistent integrity. This should make Slashdot.

  7. Most long time family dealerships were killed off decades ago when the first dealership requirements begat all the Taj Mahal buildings you see today. That was when they also tried to kill independent shops using "Harley" in their name. An example was Harley Haven in Columbia, SC, which X'ed out the Harley name on their shop front becoming The Haven. Tim regained the "Harley" part when he bought a dealer franchise years later. The Motor Company IMO deserves to fade away. I was also alive when some dealers wouldn't sell parts when you rode in on a chopper. HD management have long distanced themselves from the people who are the reason they have a company in the first place. No loss since the aftermarket provides and there are more than enough HDs for everyone if they never sold another.

  8. I'm impressed people are making fewer stupid financial choices. Coffee is a caffeine delivery system. Fancy ritual is for the bored rich.

  9. Killing the patriotic incentive to forgive HDs (many) defects was a terrible idea. It WAS accepted that if you buy one you promptly upgrade them using American aftermarket parts. Wokely-Pervertson just exterminated reasons to support the Motor Company. The US market is already saturated with older models so no one but the bored rich need a new one. MOTORCYCLES ARE TOYS and now any American may as well buy far higher performance foreign bikes from people who don't insult their customers. HD forgets NO ONE needs the company even for spare parts because the aftermarket are so good. Harley Delenda Est!

  10. It's a lagging indicator. Sales are soft.

  11. It's called PROTEST because it puts eyes on the issue. Used HDs are mostly cheap and common as popcorn. No one who really wants one is prevented from having one thereby. An HD is a consumer good like a video card or a Fleshlight.

  12. That's not how it works IRL. They're required to have an AMERICAN motorcycle and there are plenty of those not from Wokely-Pervertson. Victory hot rod parts are available and anyone so desiring can build a superior aftermarket custom using zero HD parts. See also the late Sonny Barger (famous as an HD mechanic inside biker circles) opinion on the old custom of being stuck with HS. Neither 81 nor any other club needs an HD from Wokewaukee.

  13. Keep the pressure on! Take the fight to the enemy. Motorcycles are TOYS and no one needs to pay their hard earned cash to people who despise them.

  14. In that case it wastes investor money which is also good news.

  15. They do now and I make sure every biker I know is informed because it's hilarious! We wrench and ride the classics so the fate of Wokely-Pervertson is not our concern

  16. If you want an investment few bikes will beat an index fund. The measly few thousand (remember to correct for inflation!) most HDs gain is more than offset by inflation. I didn't buy my fleet for resale, I bought it to ride. Never forget that unless the value in CONSTANT dollars rises, the value has not risen because mere numbers alone do not matter.

  17. No, they're LYING and you should not have used that title even for views so WHY DID YOU POST IT? Bad call, continue monitoring. Their CEO is not gone, their policy will not really change because the same sexist racist management still run the company.

  18. They were too old for the priests to Epstein so they got booted.

  19. Escalation is good news in the end because the Democrats will eliminate appeasement as a viable defense. Democrats regard conservatives as conservatives should regard them, without the slighest respect or empathy. Politics is war, the Left exist to end Western civilization . They are products of over a century of Soviet and other subversion which became self-sustaining.

  20. Consumers killed Victory. Indian is the response. They were just not selling.

  21. I'm gonna spread this one. I've don't really feel like and "old" biker since time moves so fast, but since my mentors are dead I guess I am. This is a direct and CALCULATED spit in the face to every biker who kept Harley-Davidson alive. These new fools have no idea what the days were like when Harley almost died the FIRST time due to family business incompetence. WE bikers carried that company. WE bought Shovels (and fixed them) and Evos (great machines) and are the reason they have a company to destroy. This will not stand.

  22. Keep holding HD feet to the fire and your viewers will spread the word. HDs are TOYS and betraying their customer base means they no longer deserve American support. Our choices hit the enemy in their wallet and the fewer bikes they sell the better. No biker NEEDS the Motor Company because it's really the independent shops and mechanics who keep the vast majority of used bikes on the road and will continue to after the factory abandons any model.

  23. AA just stepped in feces and knows nothing about mechanics. Their woke consultants are racist, sexist social enemies of their own customer base!

  24. Independence would be in 2000 for big twins and 2003 for Sporsters for most owner mechanics, though a serious enthusiast can easily overhaul a Twin Cam axle to axle.

  25. Felons by their actions make the informed choice to establish themselves as enemies of society. Punishment is not to be confused with redemption or a simple "debt" because actions reflect character. Would you let a p3d0who served their sentence work with children? Would you let a convicted fraudster run a savings and loan?

  26. White males should boycott every corporate racist sexist enemy permanently. We control billions of dollars collectively and we ARE most of the powersports toy (motorcycles are toys) market.

  29. Hold their feet to the fires and DO NOT STOP. Harley chose to be leftist racist shills. They forgot MOTORCYCLES ARE TOYS NOT TOOLS and absolutely no one NEEDS a new Harley-Davidson because (now) it has ceased to be an American cultural icon (and, speaking as a rational HD owner and mechanic, the mythos was overblown by propaganda). The old time dealers were put to the sword decades ago by HD requiring outrageous dealer investments which favored the rick and obliterated their loyal supporters many who did so since the early 1900s. The new HD aren't very good BUT Milwaukee just obliterated any reason to give them the support. The vast aftermarket which caters OLD HDs the factory DOES NOT SUPPORT does not need the factory. Shut it down, if you're helpless enough to prefer a new motorbike there are plenty of which are of better mechanical quality. Ask mechanics if in the slightest doubt. No white person should spend a dime with HD because if they treat their most loyal supporters like this, they don't care about YOU either.
