yeah a guy that used to work for harley showed it to me.... they got it mostly right I think as far as the shoddy quality and lack of attention to detail.....I also liked that they said not to mistake the new KM version as the same as Gilroy version....as with KM version you would be getting a great bike. LOL

[Scottdog]

Sounds about right...

[Last Resort]

It's kind of a no shit article

But note that they did leave out the Scout and Spirit ...

 

 

But anything they say must be taken with some grains of salt

 

If you read below the Indian bit they also bag on the Big Dog K-9. Part of that is this remark "The same dough buys a pair of 2010 Yamaha YZF-R1s". IMO make the writer look like a dumb-ass, going from Chopper to crotch rocket is a pretty big jump and not likely to be an option in most chopper shoppers minds.

I resent that article! Put a Malfa rebuild in it.. change the bars... new seat ... And there is not a word of truth in the whole article!!!

 

No matter. I love my Gilroy Malfa'ized Chief!.. And I am insulted by ANYONE that thinks it looks like a Harley at night!

[Vagabondjpm]

From day one I never had a problem with the handling or the handlebars. This confuses me since that SEEMS to apply to the S&S Chief and not the P+Chief the article seems to talk about more than not. Oh well, drive that resale price down, I'd like to have another.

 

Ride safe,

Vagabond

I seem to resemble a lot of those remarks. I remember getting the Blue Chief and wondering why the hell I put myself thru all the electrical/starter relay/spotlight/ground cable/brake/fender crack/starter jackshaft noise issues. I got thru it. However, having just purchased my second 2000, if offered $11,325 for the new red and cream Chief... she's outta here ! I don't see many actually selling for that much on eBay these days. KBB puts the value at about $9,230 (or so the state of Mass told me when determining the tax).

 

So here's the question: just how much of the recent articles bemoaning the ownership of a Gilroy are coincidental? Not to start a war of words or anything, but... it's a plausable business practice for the owners of the Brand to protect that brand. Get us to doubt our investments/reliability and buy a new one .... as well as, keep the Indian / anti-HD riders focused on the new prize.

 

I don't pay much attention to negative publications having spent the last 10 years marketing software.

 

On the other hand, if I had the cash I would love a KM Vintage...

Factual is one thing . . . pissy and whiney is another. Consider the source - I quit reading the paper rag version some time ago,

I've said it before, and I'll say it again-fuck this cum gargling, jap bike riding, trust fund baby. I could give a fuck what his Tojo loving piece of shit traitor assed sushi eatin, ass thinks. When he writes the checks on what I buy, I will listen whole heartedly what his opinion is. To paraphrase Burt Munroe "I live more in a minute on my Gilroy Chief than he does in his miserable Kawasuzuki riding life on his jap shit". It's about the soul, jappers ain't got it, sorry. Riding a jap bike is like dating a transtesticle, it feels good until someone catches you. Like Petitfin says, ain't nuthing wrong with these bikes that 5-8 k can't fix. If you don't like what I ride, go to Japan.

I hate it when you try to be so PC Pete. BTW...Who gives a shit what some pencil pusher thinks? I like my bike. last time I checked, that is all that mattered.

Who gives a fuck if he doesn't like what I ride.

I'm the one that's riding it.

No, But I can confirm "that is ONEGOOOOFYLOOKINGMOTHERFUKR right there"

[aikenscout]

piling on, in this case bikes over 7 years old shows a lot of desperation on his part.

and what oil leaks is he refering to? You can fault the Gilroys with many, many things, but I am unaware of oil leak issues.

no matter, this guy is still a punk ass smart ass no matter how ya look at it.

[IndianTrue]

Fact, the only person who would write an article about Gilroy Indians with such venom and hate is someone who's wife loves her Indian more than him. It takes a true coward to do what he did and he forgot to mention that every motorcycle manufacturer has had problems with their bikes, they just had more time to get them fixed.I wonder why he is so threatened by Gilroy Indians.

[Micmac]

What is that? A fucking carrot on his smock? It clashes with the trendy riding attire. It looks like he's eating a manure biscut, do they really sell those up north? And yes, liquid oxycotin does fuck you up worse than a soup samwich. I am up and moving around today,got some workmen here at the house so I can yell at somebody! I about got the ol lady to move into a hotel for a few days, as I have been a prick since leaving the hospital. It's gonna be 80 here today and no riding!

[CKelly]

Just Great,worke up this morning with the shits. 80 today slso

[kc indiana]

Man, glad I didn't buy one o them!!! Dodged a bullet there!!!

 

Personally I really don't get why anyone would write an article on bikes that are 7-11 years old. Is the business that fkin stale that this is all they have to write about? A company that has been gone for 7 years. What an ass!!

Nothing like an opiate to give that refreshing personality glow of Fock The World AttiTude. Motorcyclist's crew of writers obviously concur.

Look at Motorcyclist's advertisers. You will find HD, Asians, European brands, almost nothing American made, very little aftermarket. This is the economic base that flourishes for these anal retards. They want help sell more dayglo spandex riding leotaurds, pterodoctyl helmets,and like ilk.

Please notice that the brands that suckle Motorcyclist have all gone to fly by wire accelleration technology...This negative comment about to be made by myself is just based on my personal experience with a throttle-by-wire HD… I can ‘feel’ when the computer is making a decision for me, and it’s not always the right one…. it ranges from annoying to downright dangerous.

No wonder they attack brands that utilize Made In USA engines and frames, have sold fewer than 20,000 units rather than 20,000,0000 and appeal to old school riders like Indian and Big Dog do. The target companies are never going to spend advertising dollars there so why not trash them.

Never was much of a fan of defunct Titan or American Iron as , lets face it as neither company was well managed and quality was questionable as well. The fact is Quality was a major issue for Gilroy, but it has been 7 years since the production line went silent. It is rather late for an attack like this to do anything but inform us of what is by now common knowledge.

It's all about giving the mainstream cretin sidewalk commando something to shuck and jive about and selling magazines to crotch rocket, organ donor morons who perpetuate the cycle of foreign two wheel sales domination in America.

 

Motorcyclist is an Industry Parasite...Its blithering dialogue is the product of parasitic metabolic waste...Not only do they masticate excrement, they vomit forth all forms of parasitic waste products in their 'literature'.

 

 

A parasite is any organism that lives in, with or off another organism.

Humans can play host to over 100 kinds of parasites.

Parasites can be transmitted by contact, in water and by air.

Parasites can infect virtually every part of the human body including the abdomen, blood, buttocks, chest, diaphragm, digestive tract, respiratory tract, feet, hands, genitals, liver, muscles, skin and upper arms.

The World Health Organization estimates that one quarter of the world's population suffers from chronic intestinal parasitic infections.

 

Common Symptoms of Parasites in Humans

Constipation: Some worms, because of their shape and large size. can physically obstruct certain organs. Heavy worm infections can block the common bile duct and the intestinal tract, making elimination infrequent and difficult.

 

Diarrhoea: Certain parasites, primarily protozoa, produce a prostaglandin (hormonelike substances found in various human tissues) which creates a sodium and chloride loss that leads to frequent watery stools. The diarrhoea process in parasite infection is, therefore, a function of the parasite, not the body's attempt to rid itself of an infectious organism.

 

Gas and Bloating: Some parasites live in the upper small intestine where the inflammation they produce causes both gas and bloating. The situation can be magnified when hard-to-digest foods such as beans and raw fruits and vegetables are eaten. Persistent abdominal distention is a frequent sign of hidden invaders. These gastrointestinal symptoms can persist intermittently for many months or years if the parasites are not eliminated from the body.

 

Irritable bowel syndrome: Parasites can irritate inflame, coal, the intestinal cell wall, leading to a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms and malabsorption of vital nutriens, particularly fatty substances. This malabsorption leads to bulky stools and steatorrhea (excess far in feces).

 

Joint and muscle aches and pains: Parasites are known to migrate to encyst (become enclosed in a sac) in joint fluids, and worms can encyst in muscles. Once Ads happens, pain becomes evident and is often assumed to be caused by arthritis Joint and muscle pains and inflammation are also the result of tissue damage caused by some parasites of the body's ongoing immune response to then- presence.

 

Anaemia: Some varieties of intestinal worms attach themselves to the mucosal lining of the intestines and then leach nutrients from the human host. If they are present in large enough numbers, they can create enough blood loss to cause a type of iron deficiency or pernicious

 

Allergy: Parasites can irritate and sometimes perforate the intestinal lining, increasing bowel permeability to large undigested molecules. This can activate the body's immune response to produce increased levels of eosinophils, one type of the body's fighter cells. The eosinophils can inflame body tissue, resulting in an allergic reaction. Like allergy, parasites also trigger an increase in the production of immunoglobulin E (IgE).

 

Skin conditions: Intestinal worms can cause hives, rashes, weeping eczema, and other allergic-type skin reactions. Cutaneous ulcers, swellings and sores, popular lesions, and itchy dermatitis can afl result from protozoan invasion.

 

Granuiomas: Granulomas are tumour-like masses that encase destroyed large or parasitic eggs. They develop most often in the colon or rectal walls but can also be found in the lungs liver, peritoneum, and uterus.

 

Nervousness: Parasitic metabolic wastes and toxic substances can serve as irritants to the central nervous system. Restlessness and anxiety are often the result of the systemic parasite infestation. (After completing a herbal cleanse, many people swear that their persistently grouchy mates or relatives have become a lot more pleasant and patient. "The most famous tapeworm of recent years belonged to the late opera singer Maria Callas. She had a serious weight and skin problem. When the tapeworm was detected and removed, ha" weight dropped, her skin improved and her temperament mellowed," says Gittleman.)

 

Sleep disturbances: Multiple awakening during the night particularly between 2 and 3 AM, are possibly caused by the body's attempts to eliminate toxic wastes via the liver. According to Chinese medicine, these hours are governed by the liver. Sleep disturbances are also caused by nocturnal exits of certain parasites through the anus, creating the intense discomfort and itching.

 

Teeth grinding: Bruxism - abnormal grinding, clenching, and gnashing of the teeth - has been observed in cases of parasitic infection. These symptoms are most noticeable among sleeping for children. Bruxism may be a nervous response to the internal foreign irritant.

 

Chronic fatigue: Chronic fatigue symptoms include tiredness, flu-like complaints, apathy, depression, impaired concentration, and faulty memory. Parasites cause these physical, mental, and emotional symptoms through malnutrition resulting from malabsorption of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and especially vitamins A and B-12.

 

Immunie Dysfunction: Parasites depress immune system functioning by decreasing the secretion of immunoglobulin A (I&A). Their presence continuously stimulates the system response and over time can exhaust this vital defense system, leaving the body open to bacterial and viral infections.

 

The following conditions might also be tell-tale signs of a parasitic invasion: weight gain, excessive hunger, weight loss, bad taste in the mouth and bad breath, asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, acne, migraines, and even the biggest killers: heart disease and cancer.
