Your probably right, I'm just in denial. My wife says since retirement 2 years ago I'm always looking for something new to do and I say why not. She like's to work and I've done my time. It's time to start enjoying life.

Default Vulcan 800 Bobber to Night Train

I went from this:



To this:





I thought my Vulcan rode ok...not great on the highway, but it was a bobber.....then I took my Train onto the Autobahn.......NIGHT AND DAY......I love my Train.....it may have helpd that the Vulcan also uses a "soft tail" type suspension.....I have ridden my wifes VTX 1300 and it handles nice also though....

I started on a yammy, a 77 enduro back in 79! A couple hondas and a 650 maxim. Then I sold the maxim & didn't ride for years, all my bros rode H-D. Then I bought a dyna superglide,love & miss ol' Annie. Went & got a 13 heritage & am certain this old a$$ will always ride H-D!! Go for it. You only live once man.... ENJOY LIFE!!

The more and more I read all the responses the more I can't wait to test ride one. I think your right, once I get on one I'll be hooked. I have the tendency to get hooked on most things I do.

Talked to a guy I know at Harley of Sacramento and making arrangements to finally test ride a Heritage, I hope to do this before I go on vacation but if not It will happen when I get back.

I think I can understand that, first time I got on a girl I was hooked.
Been trying to get back on as many as possible as often as possible ever since.


PS The Heritage will be almost as much fun. Might even be cheaper than girls in the long run.
