Sorry if this has been brought up before. I did a search with no results.
First, I will say that some of you know that I recently traded my Sporty in on a new Super Glide. This is one fantastic bike. I love it and it makes me feel even more younger than my Sportster did.
I guess most all of you can just call me an old fart. I will be 72 in October.

But something was missing ......it didnt thrill me......it didnt scare me a little .....the springer was working hard at 90 , and starting to vibrate ...... the lowrider , with its rubber mounted engine was riding nice and smooth at 90 .... the 1584 cc engine is a good engine ..... but still , i was looking for more .....i begin looking on the internet ......i became interested in the Suzuki 1340 Hayabusa and decided to trade. On the way to pick up the Hayabusa i thought " man you are screwing up ..... this lowrider is a really nice bike ...... dont do it". But on the way home, i knew i had made the right decision . That Hayabusa was absolulely thrilling to ride. It was so fast and smooth it was hard to keep it under 80 mph . i might end up getting a speeding ticket .. oh, by the way ....... im 64 years old ....the lowrider was my 4th Harley and i have had many brands since i was 20 years old . I love motorcycling .... and all motorcyclist are my brothers ......Have fun .... ride safe ...... MISCHIEF
