As much trouble as this thing gives me I'm not sure there is a will for me anymore. It's reliable for the most part but it always seems to be something... gas in the oil (which cuold have been sabotage), a new leak popping up, or some other stupid ****... it definitely lives up to the stereotype.

Leaks build character Tman. I enjoy working on them as much as riding for some reason.

Both of his bikes have foot boards.......

The difference is that a glide has a real suspension, not one cobbled together to resemble a rigid frame.

Softail is a contradiction on wheels.

And Softies have rigid mounted motors.....this in itself is the issue....time to buy another Bertha TD.

We'll just have to see... I've spent more keeping this piece of **** running than I ever did on my ricers.
