beautiful bike.  I want one and have been trying to convince the missus that I need one due to the increase in fuel prices.  So far, no go.  LOL

Yeah, at some "reward myself" point, I'll get one too.  50th is 4 years out....that's a good one if business lags.

I gotta admit--and I hope this ain't blasphemy on this thread--but those big ol' Honda Aspencades with all the bells & whistles are pretty damn cool too.

We were chatting about the flat-black BMWs and Ducati's in Chicago.

There are some cool bikes out there....but there's that certain SOMETHING about a Harley. :@`

How'bout a nice side view, brutha?

Kinda hard to get fully envious with that cutt-off, over the handle bars shot there.  can't even see the tires, man.

Britain is dominated by sportsbikes.  I guess there isn't a huge demand for cruisers as we seem to have a lot of bends here (I think that must be intentional to get as many road miles in as possible as it's only a small island).
I've never ridden a H-D.  Maybe I'm getting some sort of mid-life crisis because I quite fancy a cruiser.  However I like the idea of a Triumph Rocket.

I like the Harley's as well, my next bike will probably be the Softail Night Train but right now I'm enjoying my Triumph cruiser.

No Harley here. But got a ST1300 touring bike (wife has her own ST1300). This is taken on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We carry everything we need, including tent, sleeping bags and other paraphernalia

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is.
