    Washed up the Sportster and the Road Glide today. Took the Sporty out for about a 80 mile ride. Man is that thing just wicked. First real time that I have had it out i decent weather since I got it tuned. FAST AS HELL!!! Then later Hot Rider and I went for a ride. She took Whip. She like it!!!:cool:

    Good to hear you got some decent weather for your ride. It's been chilly and rainy here, but today it's gonna start warming up again . . .

    To tell the truth, I think that I wasted 12k for the Road Glide. I just love my Sportster so much that in the past two days, that is all I have ridden really. It has plenty of power, looks nice has mirrors an engine. What else do I need???

    Don't know about wasted your 12K, but I understand how you feel. I absolutely love my softail. Simple, clean lines, fun as heck to ride, looks good to my eye. Sometimes I think I would like a bagger for wife and I to take longer trips... but all in all, I am real happy where I am!! :D

    Baggers are nice, but when I get on that Sportster I just feel completely different. Hard to explain. It doesn't really have anything to do with power, just how I feel when I roll on the throttle and how the wind hits me etc.

    Maybe it's cause the Sporty is a young man's bike. LOL. Baggers are for old farts like me - though I refuse to grow up and will ride my bobber come hell or high water!
