I'd ride, there are lot's of cool bike's out there, both old and new.

But I sure do love my EVO bagger, and don't even want to think about not having it.

I'd take my old 48 Pan Head off the engine stand in my office and put it back to work. I've had the engine for over 40 years and it never let me down. I just retired the motor in 97 when I bought my Springer.

First year Pan... don't know if I hate you or am just jealous. Nice secure for sure, Rich!

Something from the late 70's or early 80's......Because Harley would have gone out of business within a few years had they not introduced the EVO.


I like my EVO's but I also like my carb'd Twin Cam.

Eh...... If it was all I had. Other than the 'busa, I've got a thing about suckukis.

But to answer HarDlife: If there were no Harleys left to ride (I really want to do a shovel hardtail bar runner...):

Touring, I'd go with a big azz BMW K series, or bigger azz Honda 'wing. Maybe a Yamaha

Cruiser, I'd go with a Honda 1300.

Road Racer, I'd have to go with the Hayabusa or the Ninja. (if you're going to die, go fast...)

I'm still waiting for The MoCo to produce a totally water cooled V4, for their touring line, that puts out 180 hp and 200 ft/lbs STOCK. The MoCo can still build the V-Twin for all those 'purists'. But for an AMERICAN company, I want cutting edge. And raw power.

Just me since I'm a recovering Harley junkie...
