HaHaaaa, cool !. Nearly the same situation here in NZ.....a few mates with TC's , but mostly British, Euro and Jap bikes. Two weeks ago i attended a rally and was the only Shovelhead there. I copped a lot of [good natured] **** , i wasnt worried , next year their bikes wont be worth as much....mine will be. A 230 mile ride, the return in heavy rain and strong wind but the 'ol Shovel didnt miss a beat. Love it !.

you need a shovel to bury a twinkie - still drawing a blank my guess - it must be all that dirt on top of it

I owe you one I'm stealing that line

It has been said that Harley is the only company in the world that people tattoo their logo. I can't think of anything else.
