Smile Old dog new tricks

Took my last ride on my faithful old 84 EVO Softail tonight. Tomorrow I pick up a new ride(new for me), a 04 Road Glide. Never thought this old biker would succumb to the newer technology. Spent a day on the RG and that was enough to convince me that my old bones need a reprieve. So tomorrow its off I go on my new horse........

I know what you mean. My wife got tired of me cussin out the ol panhead and surprised me with the 03 Heritage for Christmas. Kept the pan for about 4 months before I sold it. Sure is nice not to do the weekly tightening and checkin the oil level at each fuel stop. Twinkie just don't vibrate the same, but it's still good. Ride Safe and Often.
