I appreciate all the responses. Was at Rolling Thunder yesterday in DC and out of all the thousands of bikes I looked at, it seemed that the Springers were calling my name. I do like my Deluxe, but definitely looking for a Springer now.
I looked at a Springer but with how I ride and the roads out here And after talking with the service rep and owner of the dealership(known them both for 28yrs) I stayed away from the Springer and went with the Deluxe as my short runner.......
