Default Now I Get It!

Last fall I bought a new Heritage. In January I bought a 99 Softail Standard. It had 10,000 miles and some mods. I found NOS Screamin Eagle mufflers, OE pipes, an EV-3 cam, adifferent air cleaner and some Wide Glide handlebars left from another project among other things. I rode the bikes back to back...the Heritage first. No doubt about it, the Heritage is a nice bike.... but the Standard kept a grin on my face the whole time I rode it! I get the Evo thing now! The Standard is going to get ridden alot this summer!

These EVO’s have a mechanical soul to them... like their predecessors!

Every time I ride my 1997 WG, I wonder why I don't rider her more often, nothing but smiles. Enjoy.
