I think this may be the smallest post office building I've seen. About 15 miles south of me. Went out after noon, heavy traffic starts around 11:30 am here, went a few miles on a 55mph highway in 2nd and 3rd gear. Did a few miles of gravel and dirt roads, usually don't do that on two wheels, but the 1200 handles dirt just fine and gravel if it's not too deep. The dirt roads were smoother than most of the paved ones.
It's a carbed 2004, Road King air shocks, and a nice fat Harley Pillowlook seat. Avon tires, of course, it drifted corners too easy with Dunlops. It's the one I took to the Black Hills last year and Arkansas last month. I bought it in Milwaukee and rode it home. Had a stock seat and drag pipes, uncomfortable and the loudest bike I'd ever ridden. I think it has the ugliest riser/speedometer setup I've seen on a Harely, but I wanted the big tank and a lot more acceleration than an 883 has. It's good not caring what it looks like because I think it started out kinda fugly, so I can ride through mud puddles and not care. I think I've washed it twice in the last 5 years (because it gets washed enough riding in the rain). Al's bike isn't this color.
Waiting to get my eyes checked! Been 10 years since my last check.
I finally got mine checked when I started having trouble around 45. Text on 1/16" aircraft wire is really tiny and when I needed a magnifying glass to read it, knew my days of incredible sight were over. I knew I could see things few people could, and I still miss it every day.
