Default Cool thing happened today

I took a ride and headed from Chicago to the HD museum. Was in the sandwich shop at the museum eating lunch and who but Willie G himself is walking from the museum to the restaurant and walks past about 30 bikes. The only bike he stopped to check out was mine. I had a mouth full of sandwich and was looking out the window as he was checking it out. I take that as the ultimate compliment on my ride.

Willie always said the Softail was his greatest achievement. That's pretty cool that he still feels a connection to the Softail.

I am not a fan of white walls, but they look exactly right on your bike.
I like the Coupe de Ville emblem.
Nice job, great bike!

Great looking bike. What seat is that you have and where did you get it. That is a great looking seat to me.

Great story! You have a great looking bike...is that a Deluxe with heritage springer seat and bags, street bob air cleaner, with a captain itch crotch cooler?

Looks perfect in my book. Actually looks kind of familiar!
