Gentlemen,

I'd like to direct the energy of your anger to the BOTM thread. It looks like my RKC may be in the running this month so this is your chance to add open a can of whoopass on them softail pups .
Great looking bike, but the reflectors just kill the old school look for me. 50's and 60's bikes didn't have them.
If you vote for my bike in the BOTM race, I'll take them off for you...Promise

I used to have a 87 heritage and sold it to buy a 91 dyna. Sometimes, I really miss that vibrating bastard. I know my wife does. They can have those balanced motors but I would never refer to any softail as a piece of crap.

If its not one thing its another with those Softail fella's.

A couple weeks ago they were fretting because they thought some viewed their softails(deluxe) as a girls bike.

They are letting their insecurities show [sm=icon_rock.gif]
Hee-hee I hear that girls just love to ride Fat Boys and most of the women riders I know do the Softtail thing. So just maybe it is the female's choice. Just how many women actually ride Dynas or Touring Iron?

Bagger boys, if people bash because they are jealous, you're doing a lot of softail bashing.

The comparison to the old softails aren't relevant - they do shake. But that's NOT what the guys are comparing. They were talking about modern softails to modern baggers. I've ridden both softails and rubber mounted. If you've only ridden a softail the shaking of the rubber mounted at idle is not natural. And it does shake more than the B. Deal with it - you can see the motor shake, kinda hard to deny. And modern softials vibrate A LITTLE at 80. I still don't know why they don't put the B into the rubber mounts.

Yes they went overboard picking on every little thing. But if they were wrong, you guys kinda gave it right back. I think someone complained about B's being TOO smooth at idle. Come on....

Man...you guys just need to lighten up. You know that you guys just need the vibrations to keep you ol' geezers awake when you come to a stop.

There is some truth to this statement however.

I agree. But I'd rather have someone else riding the bagger...

Compare the polls (on this forum), "What do you ride?" to "What would you ride?". Dissect it how you like. The fact still remains!

Nuff said!
