bad news...you are too young for an EVO Springer!
good news.... I'm not! So I'll GLADLY hold on to it for you til you're my age!

Good move, EVO guy

Awesome didn't think of that.

Also I have pics of the bike but I will hold out until it is happily in my garage. Look forward to getting my hands dirty making her mine.
