Got bit!
Was talking to my friend during the Cleveland / Pittsburgh game yesterday about my recent ride on a Honda Rebel. To me, it felt really small.
He offered to let me try his 97 Fatboy; to which I didn't give a second thought! I have to say, it just felt right. I thought it was going to feel too big and hard to control. Of course, it wasn't. He didn't get his bike back for about an hour!

I got bit and got the itch for a softail three years ago and I still feel they are the best cruisers on earth. I don't have a desire for any other kind of motorcycle. Before I got into softails I had purchased a used Suzuki C50T for city riding and short trips. The C50T was so smooth and easy to ride that my wife and I did most of our riding on it. As great as the C50T was it still didn't have the feel, sound, or look of a Harley so I did some research and found out the softails had the same kind of counterbalanced engine as the C50t. I took a test ride on a fatboy lo and was hooked. Softails are the only always smooth air cooled motorcycles Harley offer and are simply the best cruisers around.

The purchase of a Harley is just the start. Add ons and mods are never and I mean never ending. It is a disease that effects the size of you wallet.
I would not have it any other way.
