TD sinc you feel the need to keep posting that pile of gheyness I feel there is a message behind. So it it true? You're trying to come out of the closet?

If the evo didn't exist I'd probably not own a Harley at all. Sometimes when I think I'd like a shovel I realize I don't have the patience for one, and the allure of a Harley is gone with a twinkie.
There would probably be a KTM 1190adv sitting in the garage.

Turned 17 in '83. If the EVO had not come out and HD had closed up shop, I would have went right for a shovle or an ironhead and built it and rode it all along. I had to start out on an ironhead and rode it till I could afford bigtwin evo.
If there were no evo's I'd survive just fine on an 82 or 83 bagger with an S&S shovel and a baker filled 5 speed stuffed in the old rubber mount frame with upgraded brakes and some modern tunes to go eat up the miles.
