They sound that way because they're falling apart. A cop who went undercover in a Harley-oriented club wrote that right at first, when the had to ride in the rear of the group, he was in more danger of being killed by parts falling off the other Harleys then by gunshot.

What do you mean, "The other one"? Without Japanese parts H-D couldn't roll . Confederate is made in USA as is most of Victory (owners of "Indian").

Honda is the motorcycle all others are measured by.

Yes, it's an excellent first ride bike. It won't do 220, though, wring it out and see for yourself.

My daughter learned to ride when she took the HD Riders Edge course. She can't drive a stick shift worth a flip.

My bud's Sportster exhibited those symptoms, caused by a dirty in-line fuel filter. I had a similar problem with my Honda Valkyrie when I installed a fuel filter that was too small. Fuel tank might not be venting, try running with the gas cap opened.

Depends on your state, it varies.

My wife put 14,700 miles on her '99 Honda Magna, in exactly one year. 7700 is not a lot, especially for a Connie, which is pretty much bullet proof. Find out all you can about the bike, including Blue Book value.

They get that way from use.

A bobber has the front fender removed and the rear fender shortened (bobbed). There is no frame alteration involved.

Don't know about newer cars, but, in the 80s I had a job servicing automatic transmissions (filter and fluid change). Sometimes a small inexpensive part called a "modulator" would fail and keep the tranny from shifting. Check everything out before you spend your money.
