Talking HOG flu
called in sick to work yesterday,went and picked up my softail springer,just wasn't up to going in to work.Found out that there is a nasal solution for the HOG flu but has to be administered at 60 mph for at least 4 to 6 hours.thought I would have some side affects today but woke up to pouring rain and was miracously cured.Man I love this bike,I don't care what anyone will tell you,You are cooler on a Harley,don't let anyone tell you different.That sound at idle is intoxicating,but so is rack out at full throttle.Can you tell this is my first Harley?

Sorry to hear you got over it so soon. Maybe next time you will need more treatments.
