Why are people so foolish to purchase the worst motorcycle in the world?

HD’s are measurably the worst motorcycle in the world. HD’s are not “Made in America”, have Japanese parts all over them, poor performance and worse handling. If the only thing that you can point at as an attribute is that it’s loud and obnoxious, while it shivers, shakes and falls apart…why would I (or anyone) actually want to own one? Truth is HD (As a corporate entity) does exactly one thing better than any other Motorcycle Maker..It markets accessories. In fact HD makes more $$ selling apparel and other misc. junk than they make on motorcycles. (Regardless that HD Bikes are over-priced, low performance, embarassing piece’s of “Machinery”). So I guess this question is based on how did;Tattoos, Smoking, Drinking, Drugs and Stupid behavior ever get associated with Harley, and what HD Genius decided to exploit it? Last thing, I have owned more than 75 bikes of virtually every make (including HD) and my opinion is based on an excess of 500,000 miles & 30 years in the wind. (Ride on)

People are entitled to ride whatever they like, and if marketed right you can sell ice to Eskimos, so you basically answered your own question.
The other thing to remember is that majority of the Harley riders are actually in the USA, and they are very loyal to things that had a start in their home turf. The rest of the world, it comes back to marketing those accessories, because even HD know that the Jap, Korean spinoffs perform much better than the original, so got to make money where you can. (it is still a business)

How to turn on the dynamo lights on my Pashley bike?

I’ve just bought a Pashley bike and it has built in dynamo lights on the front and rear. I have pulled out a tag on the back light which I thought would engage the light to the dynamo but this hasn’t seemed to work. With the front one I can’t see a tag and it just isn’t working. Do you know what I’m doing wrong or what I need to do?

Thanks :)

Most of the time you just have to flip the dynamo over so it contacts the tire.
