I have owned and ridden almost every type of Harley ever built since the 1930's.Loved them all,except for the lack of of power,now really hooked on the new gen motors and the power they make especially on the 120+ci.All time favorite of the older engines would be the Pan.

IMHO, there is nothing that can compare to the looks, sound, and smell of a pan, (OK, except push a buttton and go).

I loved my '55 pan , but it naturally leaked oil, never owned a shovel but had many friends with 'em, my '93 Evo was very reliable...and now my '07 TC ROCKS!!
