Looks first, it reminded me of the old shovelheads and the FXR's that made me want a Harley when I was a kid. Second it was the price, couldn't beat the bang for the buck. Finally it handles like a dream and is fast as hell with all that motor packed into that light frame.

Been away from riding for many years. My Dyna fell into my lap when I was looking on Ebay yes I know Ebay for Harley's and I happened to recognize one of the bikes. A business associate was selling his 02 FXD. I saw it sat on it and loved it. It is a classic look with power and comfort. It handles great and I am very happy with her.

Agreed. I had a 1986 FXRS. Kept it for 17 yrs. When I went to buy a new bike I went for the 2008 Low Rider. Could have bought a bagger but the Low Rider felt like home. Baggers are nice, but unless you ride across country alot they just aren't as practical as a Dyna.

I always had a soft spot in my heart for the Super Glide. My brother bought a '76 Liberty Edition Shovel, and it was the first Harley I had ever ridden, and the sound, well that always stuck with me. When I finally got to the stage in life where owning one became a possibility, I went to the dealer and looked at the Fat Boy, Fat Bob, Softail Custom, and this dang Superglide just wouldn't stop calling me! I think I knew which bike I was going to get as soon as I walked in, and have never regretted it. I didn't know anything about the history of the Dyna line, but the handling, engine/frame combo, and value for the money clinched the deal.

Yeah, it started for me back in 1969 when I returned from Vietnam... I traded a new stereo that I bought in the PX for a 1962 Panhead... it was a real "man's" bike...

My latest bike felt just like my old '62
