Hmmm....

Harleys are known for breaking down... so are Porsches.

Harleys leak oil... so do Porsches.

What other evidence do we have that makes perfect sense now?

What does the V-rod gain from having the motor massaged by Porsche? ... No leaks.

when did *that* start !?

i used to drive past Harley's facility in York, PA about once a month; the Region's newsletter was printed just down the road from them ...

Actually the old HD were made to leak. They squirted oil on to the chain from the crank to the trans. I think this was the AMF days and prior.

yeah i caught that same show the other day i never knew of porsches involvement. My dad works at a harley shop and most are not into the v-rod but im guessing thats much like the 911 crowd not liking the water pumpers cuz its not a "real" porsche- its all about progression man.

Hmmmm.....I have a Porsche 914 and Porsche 944 Turbo both of which some consider "not a real Porsche". Guess I was fated to buy the only Harley that "is not a real Harley". (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

As for the comments about the V-Rod not having the "Harley Experience" I say get over it. It's the same BS that the taildraggers have been holding over us NARP guys for years. Yeah, excessive oversteer, massive turbo lag, etc. are all part of the Porsche experience.....just like "shake, rattle and roll" is part of the "Harley Experience". At least Porsche realized that to grow they would have to evolve the 911. I suspect Harley will do the same with the rest of their line up. You can't stay stuck in the 1930's forever.
