Here's a reason to not buy a Harley. Guy I know has a 2006 or 2007 Harley. Had an upgraded cam etc. All Harley crap done at the dealer. One of the cam bearings seized up and pretty much ended up chewing up the bearing and destroying the motor at 30k miles. Fantastic bikes.

my XR1000 went through 2 motors in 7k miles and needed a rebuild, before i sold it. I would still consider buying one, just an old pre 1980's harley.

I am starting to like Harleys ever since Honda started making their engines.

its a bitch to adjust the boost on a humvee and it wont do anything for you, other then dead line it.

I think it was fubar who was/is in kuwait, if so, they have these "ok" up armored humvee's with A/C and a turbo, they are a step up from the N/A humvee, but still have a ways to go as far as "getting the **** outa dodge"
