RE: Classic Evolution?
I have a 1985 FLHTC with over 86K miles. I use it as my daily driver to work bike when I can and enjoy every bit of it. I've had the bike since 92. Its a little rough around the edges and has the open fairing. I like going to the local bars for bike nights. You have more people looking at my older machine that the guy with the new bike and all his chrome.

RE: Classic Evolution?
I took this photo today, the wife and I were out for a ride. The 99 EVO, 9 years and 94K and it just keeps running better all the time. I have not done anything to the motor other than oil changes and new plugs. With the exception of the weathered saddlebags it looks as good as the day I bought it. They are all classics.

RE: Classic Evolution?
At this point, all Evos are classic. I have the last one, 1999, and it's now 9 years old. Evos are the new shovels.
Still cracks me up when the old timers talk crap about how great their Pans & Shovels are vs. the crappy Evos. Dude, the Evos are the small block Chevy of the Harley motors and are not the new motor to be disgruntled about anymore. Go diss the Twinkies. "See no EVO, Hear no EVO, ride no EVO"...Hahahah! That's just retarded talk right there.

What are you saying I have to look forward to with the enclosed chain? It didn't sound positive.

RE: Classic Evolution?
I don't get this, but www.nada.com seems to say that bikes 1994 and older are "antiques." Uh, really? Mine's a '92. I went to the dealer on Friday to buy fluids and he made a comment something like "with an antique bike like yours..."
Wow. That amazes me (and makes me feel really freaking old at only 35.)
