    Awesome looking bike! Is yours the same color?

    It actually looks like it would handle well.
    Low center of gravity, nice fork angle......I would definitely try one on.

    WAY outta my price range, tho. My budget is more "used Sportster", but the used Hog market in my area is loosening up some, and the diligent purchaser can find some decent Dynas at Sportster prices.

    I'm keeping my finger on the pulse of the local moto market, and if I land this local job, my sign on bonus is going toward some Milwaukee Iron.

    And for the record, y'all, I got no beef against Japanese bikes. I used to own one.


    I've just always wanted a HD of my own.

    I am in Corbin and have reassessed my will to continue: (low)

    Tain factor: (enough water to cause trouble, but not enough for the 4 wheelers to slow down)

    Traffic Density: (steadily increasing over the last hour)

    Parking: (safely and legally parked)

    Conclusion: Stay For Ten.

    I must notify Missus Skillet.

    Mine is black, like that. It has enough clearance to lean over well. Solo seat means nobody asks for a ride. Everything about it is well done. I'm not a rider who gets on and goes without stopping. Every 60 to 90 minutes I pull over, have some water, stretch my legs, if i need gas get some. It consistently gets 36-39 MPG.

    My buddy has that bike. It's the only bike I've ever seen where I'm like, "####, I should learn to ride."

    But then my wife is a nurse, and...well, those horror stories are never good. They call riders organ donors for a reason.

    Probably didn't even use his blinker before he jackknifed. Selfish jerk.
