Both. Had an INDY do the tough stuff and I did the small stuff on the shovel. Take a 1978 cage into a dealership, and they will work on it. Take a 1978 shovel into a Harley service dept. and they get that deer-in-the-headlights look. Making too much money on the new stuff to train a mechanic for the vintage lovers.

Looking at an '09 Deluxe Sunday. 'Fi like it, I'll pull the trigger!

I would never EVER sell my sled & be bikeless. I would be homeless laying in a gutter & needing a heart transplant & still wouldn't sell it.

I love my bike & my bike loves me. I am one with it. I AM MY BIKE!!!!!

You are true to the bone, dickey. I've been bikeless for short terms only for 48 years now...even did some flat track racing way back when. They do stay in your blood. It's not a disease, is it?
