Morning Bob.

You must have used your daily limit before you reached us, Russ.

 

No idea, Al. Musta been the spicy Mexican chicken we had for dinner.

 

We assumed spark plugs were involved.

 

Hurtful, Russ.

 

Morning Mick. Similar day to yours on tap here. Cloudy, rain sometime today.

 

I'll ask here since I value your opinions. Tanya (like Tucker) is taking the MSF course in a few weeks. Actually, five weeks. She's had here eye on a Sportster for years and has started actively looking recently. I would prefer a 2014 to present since they have ABS. I think a V star or something might be good too, but HD are easy to find parts for and I know them well.

Seems the market isn't offering fantastic deals on anything, but we're scouring CL and FB market. Going to a dealer doesn't seem to present much benefit I can see. If I find something this afternoon I wouldn't drop the coin, not yet. Just planning but in preparation for a purchase.

 

We have a freeze forecasted on Thursday night. Lots of plants to move in prior.

 

Just my opinion, Chris. The Sportster has a higher seat height than either a Heritage Softail or a Deluxe. That is why many shorter, read women, riders go that route.

 

She's short, so that's a serious concern. Would a Softail be a decent first bike? Seems a little big.

 

I will also offer some unsolicited advice based on personal experience. Do not buy a bike until she completes the course and decides she likes riding solo vs riding 2 up.
