to be honest Gas... I was wondering about your Big Dog... I read all your threads and saw you had a few issues... and looks like you listed even some you didn't tell us about...

sucks that you spent that kinda money just to have it sit because of doubts about it's reliablility. hopefully the new bike will be better...

it'll probably be more comfortable though... so ya know... the rally in Georgia

i completely understand the feeling of "theres nothing more to do to it" unless it breaks, which unfortunatly can happen any unexpected time being that its a custom-being that u live in a seasonal riding climate that can really ruin the riding season i imagine. i understand the change up, hopefully you get aclimatted to whatever you pick, and "make it yours"(u of all ppl cant ride 100% stock) before the snow melts over there.

i dont even give a shit what it is, its coming from the h-d factory(they only make so many bikes ). i'm more curious as to what you gonna do to it.

I think the new bike is bought,awaiting delivery...or pics. I don't know he made an "old man" comment and talked about change... I'm back to the full dresser...besides Uma is also getting a bike so he could ride hers for "sporting" around town. Hmmm... a Sportster 1200 and a Road King.

that is true... that's why I jumped on this deal. $21k trade on my bike is better than some guys are getting on straight out trades.

street glide is very nice, although I didn't want to be riding the larger chassis all the time.

Unless of course you decided to go old school and get the VW trike chopper. now that would be way cool.
