Default 1 for the dyna's

Just had to share my joy with everyone here. I got the bike out early today and wanted to put some good miles on it. So out enjoying the weather upper 60's and cruisin down the interstate I turn off the exit to head home. I see a guy coming up behind me and he's getting in the left lane to pass. Now I'm doing about 45 and look over and here he comes up along side of me and gives me the nod that he wants to go for it. I see he's ridin a SE Fatboy and figure why not. So were doin 45 or so and we both get on it. Now were on a good long straight away and no other cars to be seen and I let it rip! I kept pulling away further and further in every gear until the needle was buried. I don't see him at all as I kept goin until I started to see some traffic so I slow down and continue to cruise about 55. Now I look down and see I'm low on gas so I pull in the next gas station and fill up and as I'm coming out I see the guy on the fatboy pull in. He comes over and says " thats never happened before" and offer's to buy me a soda since he doesn't drink. So we bull$hit for awhile and it comes time to go and we go our seperate ways. So although my bike may not be the fastest around I know it faster than Ed's SE Fatboy. HeHeHe

Cool. How fast were you going? When I hit 105 it starts to shake a little.

Sheesh.. you've got some cahones my friend. But I guess it might be a bit different with those bars.. its a bit difficult doing those speeds with apes. I've taken mine at about 105-110.. that wasn't pleasant, but I just had to do it!

I've been to 90 on my FatBob and I don't care to get any faster.
As a police officer it would be embarrassing to get stopped..

LawDuck, I think you would have a better chance of getting out of the ticket than the rest of us. I don't do it to often but after doing the 103" kit I figured f**k it let's see what this baby can do!

I had my Wide Glide at 105 before the voices told me to back off.
It was very smooth, and I have no need to ever go over 100.
