Wonder how he feels about people who pay cash for that new toy? I like knowing I own mine and not the bank.

I'm done with old. I sold my RZ350, RZ500. Sold my 70 Cuda stuffed with a Hemi my 71 Challenger Hemi stuffed a long with my numbers matching RT Challenger Convertible. I will I'm sure in time miss the 2 stroke rocket bikes. But I never want to see a 50's, 60's or 70's hunk of junk muscle car again. My 02 F-150 Harley truck is starting to get long on the tooth.

My M8 Road King is the first Harley I have really wanted since I bought a 1978 Sporty and Electi Glide in 1979. Those were the absolute worse motorcycles I have ever owned in my life. Safety wire and thread lock could not keep them together when they ran. If they would run.

I can tell you right now. If this M8 pans out to be a great motor like I think it will. In two years I will have a Dyna setting next to the RK. Hoestly if the 107 was in a Dyna now I would have bought a Dyna over the RK just to have a more tossable bike. But as it stands now I have smiled so much over the RK my face hurts.

That's a fact, the Johnson likes new even more than the new-bike buyer does.
