Stay in front of him, eventually you'll forget he's there.

Same here, we think alike, I'm a fan of motorcycles period. Not a fan of the look of the vics tho (a few are ok). Heard a big tourer take off from a local indy and it sounded how it looked - Like it was straight off the Jetsons! I will take one for a spin sometime tho.

I hit 116 on my Heritage with just a stage 1 with the windshield on...I'm sure the fatty can do 110

Thats a man sized gap on the rear fender to the tire. The exhaust looks like butt, and the headlight doesnt fit the styling of the bike. I suppose all of those things can be addressed with aftermarket. I am sure it runs,handles and stops well.
