There going to get even better as time goes on.....................when the EPA kills all the fun........................in years to come and buyers of new bikes cant touch nothing on there bike and the bikes are running as hot as a oven see how fast guys run out for a soild evo softail. Evo bikes will be the bikes to have in 10 to 20 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The evo was fast, they sound like a beast and are very hard to kill and no epa ****.

 

Dude, I know where your comming from.. I love my EVO!!

 

I hope you are right as far as the Evo being desirable , but the factory made them easy to kill with a poor choice of cam bearing.

 

I read a stat recently.... and i,m damded if i can find it..... that 70% of all the Harleys ever made are still in circulation. I know we live in a throw away world, but not always it seems. I do believe there is a similar stat that 90% of all Rolls Royce cars ever built are still in circulation. I,d assume that in circulation means not registered as scrapped?

 

An old saying comes to mind. "One man's scrap is another man's treasure".

There might come a time when a bike (or old car) becomes scrap to you, but there is always going to be someone out there that might think it's worth saving.

 

I've bought my ironhead about twice over now in the last 30 years. It is no way ready for the boneyard. I plan on keeping it until I die.

Lots of old Harleys get cannibillized for parts. I doubt a bike that is 100% complete would simply be scrapped out.

 

I (with the help of a soccer mom) made scrap metal out of a '97 Ultra once. At least that is what the pictures of it looked like to me. .... I never saw the bike after the crash.

 

If we dont get a good rebound on our 401 K's... there will be a bunch of "Scrap Metal"!

 

That's where I found my 60 Pan, heard a rumour of an old Harley in a barn and started looking. Took almost a year but I found her. She was waiting for me, Love at first sight. cole

 

I'll bet some parts are still out there catching the wind!
