How much is motorcycling a part of your life?

I feel I'll follow in GasMan's footsteps sooner rather than later. Much of that is because of the location I live in however.
Currently, bikes are a fun mode of transportation more than anything else.

I will tell ya this Cutty. Skip all else in between and go straight to the bagger. Kinda wish I did besides the fact of all the knowledge I gained going thru the chop. You can ride the ultra at 40* with nothing more than a good leather jacket, good gloves, and maybe something over your face if you have a 1/2 on. Its amazing. And I don't even have the heated grips & seat.

Yeah... I would love a cross between an UC and a V-rod...

Just keep on waiting... I bet they unleash a water cooled v-twin in the near future. I certainly hope not but we are just waiting.

The only reason they will is to aid in EPA complience.

I'm keeping my eyes open and hopes up.

You got that right. The air cooled engines aren't gonna be around forever.

No shit. Part of the reason I wanted a HD is because the air cooled twins look so pretty in almost any chassis, and just feel so different.

But i think we have got a long time before its completely gone. I hope.

Then take care of your air cooled bagger. There are parts galore for my bike, and it's 30 years old.
