It just goes to show the different taste among hd riders
I'm 35 and grew up watching flat track and evil kenival jump stuff in a sportster so I always liked the sportster the best but I also liked the military harleys a lot

My guess is there'll be a lot of low mileage used Dynas for sale for the people who want to cafe them or turn them into club bikes. So, it's still somewhere in the win column.

The new bikes? Cannot wait to see them. Especially the new fat bob. Good head start on a mad max themed bike, JMO.

And that three chinned cottage cheese thighed girl is my gf. Believe me, she looks better after a few beers.

In order to build a softail that I could learn to "love" I would have to mix and match a lot of 2018 parts.

Really, I am thinking the opposite. Those of us riding Dynas because we like the look of the shocks are not about to change over to a Softail.

Wait and see. Saw the same thing when HD went from SHovel to Evo, and from Evo to TC. This changed my mind about alot of things I didn't fully understand.
