Love it and will never let it go. I love the old school look and love the ride.

I will always love the pre-2018 dynas.




Just something about them

One rare quality as a poster you had was consistency, cvaria.

You should have asked to have this moved to softail forum. What's wrong with you?? If you flip flop betwaeen " 2018 achievments" and these cute "boo boos" people find out what a troll you are.

Be consistent at least.

It's always good when you are riding the bike you love. Nobody else's opinion matters. I was recently told my bike is a turd because it has an Evo engine.

That's true! They've turned them into softails now but kept the dyna names. They should have just renamed them. I will never look at a softail dyna and think - that's a dyna. Its a softail masquerading as a low rider, street bob, etc.

Prot, I really like the EVO engines and have always liked the bike in your sig pic. I have often thought about getting a late '90s softail. I love the look and sound.

Evo's have already hit the bottom in the "oh well" column and are now becoming much more admired. They are the last of the last in Harley's original engine architecture. I want to get an Evo Fat Boy.

Never, EVER be ashamed of an Evo.

Just came back from riding a 2018 Fat Bob with the 114. I was impressed with the ride & power but the styling & price blow. I'll be keeping my 2010 Fat Bob, mine looks & sounds better.

Like I said, I am not ashamed or don't care if others like it or don't. The only thing that matters is if I like it. That's how everyone should feel about their bikes. If not, then you are riding the wrong bike. For some people, it might be a a custom painted fluorescent pink 2018 fat bob. For others, it might be an old duo Glide.

If anybody has been married to a good woman for a long time, they know what I am talking about when I say it is still great after all these years.
