Default Interesting E-mail...

I just received an E-mail from HD stating that on June 3rd at the Museum they will be unveiling a new bike...
I wonder if it will actually be a new bike or just a modified version of a current model.

New from the parts bin. HD does not have the resources to design,engineer and build anything new. Now that I have said that. Just wait for their line of little mini cruisers.

I heard it was going to be the new water cooled Ultra.
Sorry, had to do it.

Perhaps - but who would have expected the VROD from HD?

Yeah, I see it on the museum calendar of events. Says it will be unveiled at next Thursday's bike night. Hoping for something really cool in the Softail line. Maybe a new Rocker with a factory Heartland type kit. Please, not another Sporty...nothin against Sportys, but enough already.

Guaranteed to be a new version of an existing model. They'll put all the chrome back on a new WG and call it a Bling Glide or something.
