The Harley Sucks Website

by Steve
Thursday, May 01, 2008

Clayton Koenig bought a Harley-Davidson XL883 Sportster in 1999 from Bartels Harley-Davidson in Marina Del Rey, CA, and ever since then has had nothing but problems with it.

Not only that, he's had frustrations dealing with the dealer wrench. Haven't we all?

So dissatisfied with his ownership, over 5 years and 20,000 miles, he decided to publish his story on a website called, "Does Harley Suck"...

http://www.doesharleysuck.com/

Since then, other people have submitted their "Harley Sucks" horror stories, and Clayton now envisions himself as the "IT guy" towards providing the slighted Harley suckers owners a place to vent.

Well ok, I'm a Harley owner too. I've had warrantee work done on it twice already, and experienced other minor problems that were easily remedied. But if you go through the NHTSA recall database, you'll find just as much recall notices filed by Honda and Yamaha as you will Harley-Davidson. And there are just as many bad metric wrench shops as there are Harley shops.

Yeah, I know metric owners are going to say lots of great stuff about their bikes. I own a metric cruiser too. But the fact is that no company produces a well-made motorcycle anymore.

Props to Clayton for not sitting quietly and taking his lumps, however. But my advice is to change the format of the website to an actual forum, like phpBB, it'll probably be a lot easier to manage.

  • Hola a todos les escribo desde Mexico, solo quiero preguntarles a los que tienen ultras si estas no les hacen un "extraño" en velocidades altas (150 km/h), a lo que me refiero con "extraño" es que la moto se le mueve el manubrio de una manera oscilatoria, como que si estuviera desbalanceada la llanta delantera, mi moto eso hacia y causa de eso el dueño de la agencia de harley donde la compre tuvo un accidente probandola, en estos momentos estamos en platicas con la fabrica de harley davidson en estados unidos para determinar que procede, presuntamente se cree que el motor no estaba alineado con el cuadro de la moto, aqui en Mexico ya paso un caso similar al mio, si alguno de ustedes tiene ese problema en su moto, no se confien y llevenla a que la revisen, eso les puede salvar su vida, si requieren informacion adicional mi correo es requesg@hotmail.com saludos a todos!!!!
