You gotta love a nice Harley guys! Ja-Moo.......you know you'd ride one if I brought them over in the Spring!
Here is my 1995 Springer Bad Boy...( 1st of 3 years produced)
and 2003, 100th year Anniversary Road Glide....

John...never mind- you wouldn't look right!

some people like variety - I'm one, I'm not so much a road king/glide person though but they've become super popular in the last 10 years.

I love my Harley FatBoy, it's my daily rider but mostly because of convenience, practicality and comfort. Fun factor is the triple by far - don't think anything can touch that.

Interesting article in this months "Horse - Back Street Chopper" magazine (the name is sometimes a misnomer) - they did a great write-up on a T500 special someone did, very cool. They do a lot of other bikes besides Harley. Lots of British and Japanese bikes too. Not all are choppers but the magazine focuses on what you can make and modify for a bike YOU like, not something bone stock or bought out of a catalog. Lots of fabrication and tips and tricks stuff.

Nice ride Barry...I've seen your Harley pic before.....( after a rain ride or something)...I've been riding the Springer since 2000... bought the RoadGlide 3 yrs ago. I needed the smoother ride & the frame mounted fairing! If you ride your HD like I do mine.....guarantee they are not roadblocks...

For every Hardley I have ever seen, except for two, Lucifer's Hammer, and Vance Breese's racer bike, I refer to them as "ROLLING CHICANES".
