    Was down at the HD dealer yesterday and talking to the manager and a salesman there and they were telling me that HD is going to drop the Crossbones and the Rocker from their line up. They said HD is supposed to come out with a new possible Springer, we'll see. I guess the sales on these two models have been way down. I can understand the Rocker, never cared much for it.

    I rode the Crossbones, from the minute I got on it I wanted off.

    And the Rocker is O.k. if yer in that kind of bike.

    But its a Lowered Deuce with a fat back tire.
    Really wasn't impressed with it either.

    New picture looks good there Cardboard. I didn't even like the looks of the Rocker and the Crossbones was simply a stripped down springer.

    If it was a Windy day and the flag was flying you wouldn't be able to park the bike where I have it. The waves would be comin over the bank.
    5-6' waves on this lake are normal.
    This was the 1st day in 2 wks the sun came out.

    I can tell you live down in the low land area.
    Things there and things here on the lake are totally different.

    I like the CrossBones a lot. For me it was a comfortable bike, plus the Springer. I agree that as is from the factory, it is just a one person bike, but put a king queen on it, or something else, there ya go. When the rocker first came out, I thought that it was the best looking bike that HD ever came out with, then I sat on one and thought that they really screwed it up.
