Just kidding of course...I couldn't afford (well I could, but I don't need another payment) one of those anyway.......

Every time I ride the Berthinator........I lose interest in another bike.......I probably ought to stay away from a test ride though........

I have to stay out of those stores, and even out of their parking lots! I love my bike and she's beautiful, until I see her next to those.

I don't have any problem going into the dealership.
Yeah the other bikes look newer but none have Tinas personality.

True, they don't have 100,000 miles on them either!

You say that like it is a bad thing.
Gotta admit after you cover 100k you know you have a trusty steed.
You take care of her and she will take care of you.

I'm just saying that 100k will age a bike. I wish I could take credit for all those miles, but I can only claim 40k.

For what it's worth I rode a friends EFI Twin Cam.
As a bike it runs great. Lots of mods and a butt load of power.
I twisted the throttle and ended up in the back seat.
It is missing something though. Not sure what but it just don't feel right.

I would never trade my EVO in on one of those. (or anything else for that matter)

I know a bunch of people will disagree with me but that is what I experienced.

My Voyager XIII had twice the power my Harley does. At first, I missed that power. But now I just keep the RPM's low and putt around and I'm happy. It's got enough to get me out of the way, so far anyway.

BINGO! I had 3 bikes in one year. Sold the first two without losing a penny.

Saw Bertha on this site. It was like a tractor beam......love at first sight.....

What's not to love.......

As for the 100k thing a friend of mine has over 1/4 million on his bike.
Granted it needs some help but it is still running..
