Cool bikes guys. I'm envious. I went and did something that my wife calls "very bad" last weekend. Visited my local Harley dealer.
I used to ride back about 23 years ago. Was into dirt bikes for a couple of years until it got difficult to find places to ride (this is in the mid to late '70s) then naturaly progressed to road bikes.
My first was a 750 Yamaha triple that I owned for a couple of years. It ended up an 883cc when I bored it out. Bought a new XS-11 in 78 and rode it till my wife and I went down at over 60 mph. She wouldn't ride with me anymore so I kind of lost interest after that. Did ride it for another year and traded it for a boat.
Well, I made the mistake of actually sitting on one of those Harleys. The memory rush almost made me have vertigo. I just sat there slack jawed with a big drool forming on my lower lip. They have really improved the brand, pretty much fixed the oil leaks and have reduced the vibration levels on the big twin to where you can actually see in your rear view mirror at speed.
To make a long story short... I am going to be buying one of the Soft Tail Fat Boys by my birthday in November then I won't have to be envious any more
