30-year loyalist quits: "Owned Harleys 30 years. Last two bikes catastrophic depreciation. Sold Road Glide for $14,000 loss. Bought Indian. After 30 years loyalty, Harley lost me."

Indian comparison: "Harley lost $13,000 in four years. Bought Indian Challenger $24,000, six months later still worth $23,000 to $24,000. Minimal depreciation, more comfortable, reliable."

Dealer fraud: "Salesman promised would hold value. Three years later offered $21,000 trade on $35,000 bike. Said 'market conditions changed.' That's fraud."

Warning: "To anyone considering Harley: RUN. Buy anything else. You'll save thousands in purchase, depreciation, maintenance, repairs. Harley is financial trap disguised as American dream."

Real Harley owners, real financial devastation, thousands losing tens of thousands believing Harley's marketing promises. Comments brutal because reality worse.
