Matter of fact I am. I have made a trip or two to the dealership, been looking online and I think before WS I will buy one. I couldn't ask Sherri to ride that far for that many days on the back of my Fatboy. She is good for about 100 miles before the butt hurt sets in.
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.
Well dang Bob, that's actually pretty cool. I see people buying low selling hi, but I guess I've never put that much work into it.
Isn't he banned? Gawd that guy...

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?
It's different. First day I rode it home I almost crashed. It's easy now though. But I wasn't taking it to twisted going fast either and I've had some close calls.

WS21 was my deciding factor. God speed to you. I can keep an eye out down here and help you however I can. If I know what exactly you're looking for.
Haven't blown the driveway since the last sn*w, glad I didn't bother, it's deeper now than yesterday. Wind is blowing the powder and filling in the low spots, like cleaned off driveways. Will clear it off this afternoon so Audrey has a clear area (hopefully) to pull in and deliver the grandkids in the morning. Will be a full gear effort, balaclava, big mitts with liners and goggles, no exposed skin. I'm not much of a winter fan anymore. I think that ended when it sn*wed the first night I spent in Minnysoda...
