    The engine or the bike? Poor choice of bike though.

    Obscene Sleeper, eh? Of course, it's not really a Harley anymore, but a hybrid of high performance parts. If I may regress, Tattoo's motor is like that; a 103 '69 shovel that has hardly any original Harley parts in it. Or on it. Mostly S&S.
    We ride together less frequently now as he just blows me away at intersections and rides over the speed limit a lot. He says he gets tired of waiting for me to catch up. I reply with some irritation, "Did I ever ask you to wait for me?" It means I sometimes have to go 75 - 80 to catch up to the rest of the pack on my bone stock '77. No S&S parts on my bike anywhere. I don't like pushing my antique bike or body that hard, though they can do it and then some.
    But that doesn't mean I wouldn't love to see and hear one of those S&S baggers in action. And just think what that hopped up motor would do on a well designed chopper or bobber. WHOOOSH!
