What the hell is it about these bikes? O_O

I've had a lot of bikes in the last 5 years... '98 FLSTF, '12 FLSTC, '13 FLTRU, '13 FLSTC, '11 Victory XC, '14 Victory Vision Tour, '15 Indian Roadmaster (Roadmaster's in my garage now).

But out of all those... I wish I still had either of the FLSTC's. What the hell? They're not technologically advanced, they're not fast, they're not overly comfortable (stock anyway), there's nothing "special" about them from a scientific/objective standpoint. But I want one again anyway. DAMN IT.

I can't do it, not now, not anytime soon. Loan on the Indian is way too messed up to get out of.

But I've got browser tabs up with every H-D dealer in my state, and I'm looking at Heritage inventory. (And Deluxes.)

We liked the new/old style look of the Heritage and it is not to BIG or to small, like little red riding hood said "It is just right"

It is just a damn good looking bike. I will never get rid of mine.

That paint scheme is awesome. Wish they were still doing any that cool.

I think that was Goldilocks. Little Red Riding Hood worried about what big teeth you have.

The seats are insanely comfortable I think. I could ride 1000s of miles and my *** wouldnt hurt. I love mine the styling rocks and its just the right size.

I've got a 94 FLSTC and a 13 Fat Boy lo. People keep asking where the "new" bike is, because I'm always jumping on the 94. I've not sold it yet because I just can't seem to let it go. lol
