Congrats. Nice choice. I'm 62, bought a '14 Switchback on the end of season clearout. I hope I'm still riding in 10 years, maybe I'll have one more bike in me. If not, I think this one will do nicely.

Did you trade in your other Dyna (Street Bob if I remember right)?

I would love to see a picture of your complete collection.

Congratulations on the new ride! It's a good choice and I'm sure you'll get many good years of riding out of her!

Nice ride!! Let's see, 68 yrs old, 74 yrs old, 91 yrs old. That means that I can probably buy at least three more bikes. Be safe.

Got it this afternoon. Took the sticker off of the air cleaner that claims motorcycles are dangerous. Removed the passenger foot pegs. Did a heat cycle in the afternoon and one late evening. Will do a total of 12 heat cycles.

Saw that it needs a different breather. The stock one picks up air right behind the front exhaust pipe. Bad design. HD changed the 14 touring to take in cooler air several inches out from the motor. But seems to have ignored cruisers.

The engine was very smooth at idle. The stock exhaust is as quiet as any twin cam stock exhaust that I have heard. Too quiet!

That is as far as I got today.

Here is the obligatory picture.





You can see some of it's stable mates in the background. There are 13 other HD's in the garage. I know I'm crazy just ask my wife.
