Funny. Can you tell that cloud to pass my way? You know I have gotten two free bikes in my lifetime. One was gifted to me by my Step Father when I was 13 and the other I bought with an inheritance. I just didn't want to lead with that.

It's the snowball effect, if you keep rolling your money over eventually everything is free

Thinking of downsizing from a RG to a Heritage…I’ve only ridden one used and it seemed vibey? Was this a anomaly or is this just normal espescislly going from a larger touring bike to a Softail? I know I’ll get used to it…

What year? Before the M8 they were solid mount motors but had an internal balancer to smooth them out (Twin Cams)

Is it actually smoother than a twin cam . . . . Eeeh.
The susp, brakes, lighter weight, etc . . . All superior.

that’s coming from a guy who rides a Dyna—or who perhaps rode a Dyna. Maybe an FXR. Dyna riders appreciate sportsters. Dynas and sportsters rock out with their shocks out. Sloptail riders spaz out with their vag out.
BOOGER EATERS have been calling sportsters girls bikes forever. Watch out for the booger eaters! You can find them with lots of heavy horse power reducing chrome bolted all over their bikes.

What is this ? Recess ?
Where do these guys get this slop tail stuff ? Granted, they're not a sport bike, but I've never heard of one
needing a stabilizer brace to prevent "The wobble"
It's on rails with it's 3% lean angle (HA HA !!)
As far as Sportsters, I wish I still had the OL's 93 (1200 conv, Buell heads,
Fatbob tank.)
That thing was a BLAST. I rode it whenever she wasn't.
