1996 FXD for the wife
New to us the wife's 1996 FXD. She got the bug this summer to get on her own bike. We found this and she was immediately in love. 13K original miles and in good overall shape. She put 2K on it this fall.
I had forgotten how much fun the Dyna's with the EVO were to ride. Handles like a sports car compared to my Ultra.
I am sure I will learn tons from you more experienced EVO guys.

Very Nice! Can I ask what it cost you?
I've been learning a lot about the EVO, after I bought my '86 last summer. What I really like about the EVO is the ease in understanding and working on them, and thousands of helpful brothers who are extremely knowledgeable in the finer details that are willing to help others.
I personally find it very interesting how many women have their own bike. I'm not sexist about the issue, actually just the opposite I can appreciate a women who can handle one on her own. There are so many demanding requirements to operating one of these BIG machines. I've had times that I've been challenged beyond my abilities when it comes to handling the bike under certain conditions.
Several aspects would be a real change when going for a ride with the wife on her own bike. My constant concern for her safety which would be "out of my control" would be on my mind all the time. Me personally I like riding alone, which even with the wife aboard my bike means no constant co-coordinating the finer points of planning out a ride and need for moment by moment awareness of another vehicle.
Just thinking out loud.
