I'm glad that it's allowed (Yay for freedom!). But I can't understand the logic of why anyone would post a HD ad on a Triumph afficianado's website? Who are they hoping to lure, disgruntled Triumph owners?
Disgruntled Triumph owners don't hang around here for long. They have their whinge, get into a few arguments, & then they're gone.
& the last thing they're looking for here, is another bike. So they probably don't even check the classifieds.
So why do it?

Yet another desperate move by HD, as their stock sinks further.
I mean them no ill, but it is a sign of their woes.
And if Boozefighter had not deemed the bike a loser, I would have my eyes firmly set on a Nightster.
Thanks, Joe, wherever ye might be.

Harley has plenty of advertising money to spend on our site. So I say let them and anyone else keep us going.
Also Shawn if your the one running this site "Thank you".

The ads that really get to me, are the google-ads for Triumph Bras'.
How many members have sucumbed to that temptation, I wonder?
