    I went riding with one of my sons in AZ today, what a blessing to be able to go that. This is #2 son who I haven't ever had the pleasure. I borrowed #3 sons bike. Both of them have Victory High Balls. A year or two apart. Although the build of this model doesn't suit my aged body, the 106 motor never ceases to impress me. Both bikes have been "timed" and breather and exhaust. Very strong motor and nice working tranny. Drive train lash is a little annoying but can be gotten used to. [​IMG]

    If were to ever go down this ugly road, it would be the High Ball.

    Obviously. I remember you threading about a ride with your dad. Seems you got positive remarks from all. But that's ok. I didn't expect any from you.

    Out of curiosoty and since you ride an HD, while riding the high ball, which of the 2.....hd or high ball felt superior based on your experience as a rider?

    My wife and Dad are my main riding partners. I wouldn't change it in any way.

    Buddy of mine traded his RK for a high ball. Loves it. Cannot tour right now and for a while so he's happy to be ripping around on his loud ass high ball.
