Default Attention "HOG" ...NOT

I finally experienced what many of you have been describing.

I rode with a buddy the other day who owns a $20k+ Harley with all the bells and whistles. Guess who got all the attention and conversation each time we stopped? You guessed it. The fury. What a feeling. Glad to be the proud owner of my Honda fury.

It will happen every time you ride. I've received compliments from many Harley owners and even Bid Dog owners. The amazing thing is that in spite of its popularity, you will not see the Fury pictured in any magazine.

Yeah - HONDA, Kawasaki, Suzuki , Yamaha - made by the same people who brought you Pearl Harbor.

I used to own a Fury and I liked but..........

Now I own a Harley Davidson FXDWG Dyna and I love it!

no "needs more power" issues

no oil "markings" - My Fury leaked from the head first two months I had it.

Starts everytime. Sounds Effing awesome! Has plenty of power!

I get the same looks and compliments.

American servicemen fighting for our country - buying Japanese motorcycles - Booooo!

Shameful

AND my harley will still be worth it's weight in 25 - 50 years.

ever seen a 25 y.o. HONDA?

cruising these forums, Furys have problems just like any other bike.

Except my owners manual is printed in English

Pretty rough from someone who owned a fury and is a member of FuryForums.

I'm happy that you are enjoying your new bike, but FYI....

We are not at war with Japan.

I've seen plenty of 25 year old hondas...I ride with two of them.

Turn your Fury manual over, it's in english you just need to hold it right side up.

We're increasing becoming a global economy. THis buy american BS actually hurts the american people. BTW, ZMAN, last time I checked, Harley Davidson was a public company, 13% of which is owned by non-americans. Glad I live in a country where I have free will to buy/use whatever I feel like without discrimination.

Just rattling some cages... go "F" yourself... your insulting comment about Myself and Fellow Service Members... That was very uncalled for. Not all us that lay our lives on the line for your freedom of speak make enough money to spend on an over priced bike that is surviving on its name sake.

Have a good F'en day Zman... maybe you should take a better look at your American assembled bike... not all parts are made in America today... they are most likely from China or Japan... even a HD is not all American just like Budweiser.

I know that the 2012 Dyna which I test road was VERY uncomfortable and over priced at best! I did not buy my Fury for investment/ resale value, I bought cause it was the coolest - prettiest - best riding bike I could find and I tested out a bunch! Glad your happy with your HD but post to the pigs (sorry hogs)and stay out of Fury World !!!!!
