Im sure there are several in the archives that were not deleted, because it has been discussed before, always with the end result being insulted members of our forum who also own that brand, feeling forced to defend their choices of motorcycle ownership.
I cringe when ever I see Harley Davidson in a thread because I know it will not end well. Never has, doubt it ever will.
As always, Ferret, your call. Just to be clear though, I wasn't saying this particular thread should have been kept; I was offering a principle for deletion generally: delete posts rather than whole threads.
It's a pity really because Papa Weeley's original observation—that Harley riders have been behaving differently towards him since he got the CB1100—was interesting and worth talking about. Maybe it was inevitable that it would go the way of all threads where the words "Harley" and "Davidson" are mentioned.
