I think if you’re gonna recommend a bike to someone it’s kinda easier if you know something about them and what they want the bike for...

But maybe that’s just me.

My answer is usually close to yours Bill. Let your *** decide.

You should try the Heritage. It's a pretty sweet ride. The only Softail I personally would consider having ridden a bunch of the 18s.

I agree with this

I don't like what they did to the new street bob. My choice would be the 18 Slim as well.

Or like a guy in a post I read somewhere. He got himself a new bike but he bought his wife a Rolex at the same time. No grief that way. Works out perfect for you, get her a Rolex today for her birthday and get yourself a Harley tomorrow, just cause.
