Do you still have that Springer?
Nope. Sold it 6 years ago. I bought cheap and sold high to the guy that owns Zero Engineering (cool custom bikes). He sent it back home to Japan.

Wasn't sad at all Chris. It was a nice bike, but it was like going back to the 1940 when riding it. Very agricultural to quote Mark Winchester.

I made a bunch of money on it. I knew it was a steal when I came across it with a for sale sign at Road America. Bought it on the spot. Cleaned it up a little, replaced the steering bearings and fork bushings, and enjoyed it for a summer. Then sent it on it's way and put 5 grand profit in my pocket.

Never had a Springer.
As cool as they are, and I would certainly enjoy having one, are they not that much fun to drive with that front end configuration?

When I was looking for a bike, the Badboy caught my eye, but I wanted FI. Still wouldn't mind having one though. The stance they have just pleases my vision.
