Default In The Wind Again

It was 60 degree's today here in Connecticut , it's been 5 months since i rode so i went and fired up my machine first click of the switch and she came alive , i let her idle for 10 minutes and off i went , after 30 miles or so it was up on I-95 for some wind in my face , i was crusing 80-85 flowing in the wind with little cage traffic it was great , i'm glad i put it away when i did because it also rained !! I got the fever again i just hope we get more warm time sooner......

Glad you got to ride yours. We have warm weather but mine is in the garage in a close stage of being back together so should be riding it next weekend or sooner.

2 days of riding does wonders for the spirit. Some salt on the road, I was more concerned about the run-off from the snow banks alongside the roads.

Good deal - same boat as you. It was almost 60 last Fri, then 8 deg last Tuesday AM then awesome this weekend ???

I noticed the stable of bikes you've listed over the past 10 years.
I'm interested how your current ride (06 SB) compares to the others?

Well i started off with the 1200 sportster and of course i wanted a big twin , i always loved the chromed out lowrider and rubber mount so i bought that , but had to have a Fatboy , my first one got stolen so i got another one but went back to the lowrider for the rubber mount , i bought the streetbob because of the blacked out looked and also the rubber mount again , what it comes down to yea fatboys are nice and owning 2 of them and 2 dyna's well i ended up back with a dyna , i love the rubber mount and the BIG SPORTSTER LOOK !
