I get a kick out of some of you. "I wish I had it back", "should have never sold it", etc. I bought a "new" EVO Road king 2 years ago with 2,500 miles on it and I will NEVER get rid of it. It's sitting right next to the ironhead that I've been riding for the last 30 years or so. When I get ready for another bike there will be no trade in and no regrets for selling the old bike.

I wish I had kept my Evo. Don't get me wrong...I love my Twin Cam. Just too many moving parts for my me. The Evo is a much simpler motor and when properly maintained is a very long lasting and dependable motor. I think they sound better than a TC, and A Shovel sounds better than an Evo, and a Pan sounds better than a Shovel, etc, etc, etc.

took a test ride on a new deluxe the other day.it was comfy but no comparison to my bike,imo.couldn't hear the motor,couldn't feel the motor,barely heard the pipes,felt like i was "locked in"to the riding position.also didn't like the toe-heel shifter.just made me want back on my ol' evo.i can sit up and hammer on mine or i can stretch out and cruise,either way,my evo just makes you become part of the machine.thats soul.and its great therapy.the deluxe was a "pretty bike"however
