FabSwingers.com forum: Buying Vs renting a Harley in the US

By (user no longer on site) OP

Anyone got any inside info or experience of whether its best to rent a big cruiser for a few weeks, as against buying one then getting it sold at the end of the trip? Buying then selling is a risk, but I think it'll be less of a 'tie' apart from getting it offloaded at the end. Any advice from anyone who has done this before would be appreciated.

Am looking at a few weeks enjoying the US West coast later in the year, and just started my planning to make it a fun-packed trip...am wondering if there's any Fab fun to be had out there too...? (If there's time...lol)

Odd. We have had Harley's for more than ten years and never had a failure of any description. What kept breaking?
