Always amazing how little knowledge a lot of people have about anything but feel qualified to lecture about everything. I learned a long time ago speak little of what you don't know and look intelligent doing so.

Yea this, that irritates me to no end. I got in an argument with a guy selling a "Dyna" that was clearly an FXR, if he wouldn't have been such a stubborn ***, I would have bought the bike from him.

Speaking of bike names - what's with these stupid names anyways - why not just call them: 'Super Ultra Bad Fat Bob Wide Slim Boy' and be done with it.
Is this is the best HD can come up with?

I have a Super Street Bob, well at least it is now and I don't care what HD calls it or any one else. Actually I call it My Bike.

how about when you call someones random bastard child bike a softail, and they are offended you didn't call it a fatboy, or heritage, or deluxe, or fxstxyz... its still a softail.

When I knew that I was going to have the funds to buy my bike, I started researching. I had different facts about the various models and wanted to discuss the pluses and minuses with my wife since she would be riding on the back.

All she would say is "starts with an H and ends with a Y, that's all I need to know."

Try searching "Screaming Eagle" on eBay. I did just a few days ago and was so frustrated. People just add it in the key search words so it pops up. 90% of what came up wasn't.

Apparently if it has an Eagle logo of any sort, it automatically makes it "Screaming Eagle".
