Default FINALLY got a chance to stretch her legs

beautiful day in Central Ohio.&nbsp\\; rode down south to the Chillacothe area.&nbsp\\; Very, very hilly, horse country.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Lot's of deserted S curves and switchbacks, and fantastic pavement.
&nbsp\\;
This FXSTC handles like a dream.&nbsp\\; Not sluggish in the least on turn-in.&nbsp\\; It's hard to believe these are 700lb. bikes.&nbsp\\; Had a huge grin on my face for 3 solid hours.&nbsp\\; I can't believe how low you can lean these Softails.&nbsp\\; I never scraped the pegs once, yet I felt at times like the asphalt was trimming my sideburns.....
&nbsp\\;
the combination of the V-twin whapping away under my butt, and the roar of the BR 2-into-1 in my right ear, was just fantastic....
&nbsp\\;
With apologies to all the other models, I really did buy the BEST Softail there is
&nbsp\\;
Hope everybody can get your Softy out on a deserted set of twisties....these puppies aren't just for cruzin' the boulevard.....
