That joke was funny 34 years ago, before H-D (due to the efforts of the AMF era leadership) introduced the EVO engine.

Now such comments are just nonsense.

Do try to keep up...

I keep up just fine, but the oil leak jokes aren't about a possible mistake when installing a clamp on just the 2017 touring bikes. They are about all H-D engines having a reputation for constantly leaking oil. However, that reputation was developed before the EVO, and then the Twin-Can engines, which are "oil tight."

Therefore the oil leak jokes haven't had a basis in fact for more than 3 decades.

And the weekend warriors in buttless chaps pretending to be an extra in Sons of Anarchy on their Harley's looking down their nose at any other style of bike is tired, weak, and old as well.

It's looking like VW might hold on to Ducati. I don't believe HD even placed a bid thus far. Reports I am reading seem to point towards a reluctance in VW's supervisory board to sell Ducati.

I wonder if other Europeans are raising hell about selling a well-known Euro company to the Americans.
