Thanks for the props on the scoot...don't get much of this at home. After 3 weeks of mopping around the house, finally brought the bike home and rushed inside to tell the family. Wife's response, "you know I do not like your motorcycle"...while grudgingly heading outside with me to have a look. Kids response, "that's nice dad, what is for lunch?"
I am sure there are quite a few of us that toil away on our bikes in solitary...the only folks that "get it" are like minded individuals in the same situation.

I think my wife is mostly resentful of the money being spent on Accessories. And she doesn't see the difference it makes in the bike. (like the air cleaner I purchased for $400 and don't like .... think she'll let me replace it without hollering?)

Me too...I looked a long time for a Gun Metal Blue Fatboy. Found one that had 86,000 miles. Ended up settling for a pearl white instead.

Thank's soldierbot, Ya I had been looking and calling all around for a month, talked to a bunch of bonehead's, and then ran across this 03 that had a 66yr old 1 owner who never screwed the bike up-everything on it is H.D. and only dealer serviced, guy took good care of it and ran it easy, real happy with it and I really alway's wanted a FB, I did put the 10" T-Bars and Danny Gray seat on it tho.
