I´ve driven HD´s a long time. Have defended the for ever. Was proud to own them. Never raced or even tried to keep up with rice rockets cause the Pan Head or Shovel wouldn´t do it and I didn´t care, I had the class and the pride. Then I had to get rid of it, Harley sold out the the money God on wallstreet to keep up with Jap production, sent all the used ones overseas and prevented many that were not CEO´s, drug dealers, actors or what ever from grtting one. I now own a 02 VTX, gets me down the road faster than I need to go, no maintaince, tool box, and 6 figure salery needed. Harley is still cool just priced it out of the old 1%er range. Race all ya want, you´ll either die fast or die in the back of somebodies trunk Either way have a blast kid..........
