I'm just so glad that I could play a "small" part in your continuing education....... You're welcome!!!!

 

Well,........ if 1200's have a "thingy", then I'M IN BUSINESS cause I got one of them too!

 

I try follow this one pretty good as I do have Softail two.

Prototype Softy, 1972;
Someone said Yamma invented Softail thingy;
Softrail thingy's are hard to see.
Bill Davis saved MOCO by coming up with the softail thingy. So there really is one.
Now I find out its next to Ur dohicky thingamobob.

Sad to hear tourer don't got Thingy's. Now I wonder if they have a dohicky thingamobobs?
If so what could be next to it. Hope its not the ole Whatsamacallit..those thing were really out there by today standard..

Just maybe as stated someone got the brains and willing to make them...like ole Mr. Davis did when he started all this thingy thing..

I think we all need a softail for our thingy..

 

A softail for our thingy?.......... I'll vote for that.

Yamaha wasn't even close. Here's a couple early Vincents:

 

I built this in 1978 before Harley Bought it.
