My first Harley was a new shovel. That would pull away like a rocket. Reckon they probably had heavier flywheels than evos. They certainly ride different, but I don't think I would have set off on a long journey on it!

 

Evo's are definately the way to go, sound better, run better and alot more reliable. I don't think I would ever own a Twin Cam unless someone gave it to me!

 

best part about having an Evo is-
"if I have to explain (why I love my Evo) you wouldn't understand"

Evo RK is the only other bike on my wish list right now.
And some Red Velvet cake. But that's a different Evo thread.

 

I traded a 02 fatboy for my 95 heritage and love it. my fb was an 02 it was like riding any other type of bike. But the evo is different it viberates more i can repair it (maybe) feels great and i get way more attention for my heritage than my tc ever got.

 

I sold my twin cam last April. a black '03 ultra classic. While it ran fine I found I had alot of money tied into it for stuff I didn't really use. Never used the CB, rarely used the cruise control, the pos security system that only prevented me from using the bike, and the radio was kinda lame. The fuel injection helped it start easy no matter how cold it was, but the bike kinda left me cold. In September I bought an old police bike a '96 Evo. It has a certain feel to it the twin cam didn't. It needed some TLC, but to me that's like therapy. I didn't mind taking it apart and fixin what was wrong after years of hard service and no love given to it. It gets noticed more then I would have thought whenever I take it somewhere. It's basic, simple doesn't have alot of extra crap you don't need, and being carborated it has a different sound then fuel injected motors. I may not take the trips I used to anymore, but I feel this bike will be with me alot longer then other bikes I've owned.,,

 

sniff...i miss my 91 softie...(riding an 06 geeze glide right now)

but i am on the hunt for evo heritage at the right price..
