Geezz, I do wish the Harley fix-its was the reason for my success, but it
wasn't. I retired from the repair biz in 1982, before they were the "rich"
mans bike. Mostly old bikers and the Miami, Florida PD are the bikes I
repaired all those years. I did my own investing and now own a home in
Georgia, Kentucky, and Hawaii. Gonna downsize though, leaving GA in the
coming months.
Oh yeah, those Harleys do break, but they are completely rebuildable
forever. It is still very easy to get most any part for a Harley back to
the knucklehead engine of the 40s. We would run Buick pistons in them
even..in the long run, they were the cheapest bike to own. I never paid
over $800 for a Harley and I owned a bunch of them. I still have my 1973
Police Special that was one of our bikes in service and has a documented
million plus miles on it, and my chopper is a 1957 Panhead. Glug, glug.....

That could be argued either way. However, the fact that Harleys do break
has managed to keep Rascal drinking that distilled water all these years,
and it must be pretty lucrative as well. It would be nice to be able to
afford a home in Hawaii too.....
