Appreciate your response.
I love watching Flat Track and the venues that hold the races. Should be an exciting season. Looking forward to learning more beyond pictures

I'm just thrilled to death people are talking flat track.
Not long ago there was a big flat track race ay Colonial Downs here in Virginia. I was tickled pink at the turnout. I couldn't care less who wins, as long as the sport keeps growing. Maybe even back to it's hayday of popularity.

I don't think it's accurate to say that. While non of the parts will interchange, the basic platform is still based off of the Sportster.

The article says Harley and Indian have been competing for over 100 years. And here some of you claim Indian has not been around that long!

But to come on here with your Log in name and sig pic on a Harley forum is a total ***** douche move, and you can kiss my ***...
