Well,
I said i wouldn't, but i did it anyway. i bought another bike. i made the whole loop, and landed back on Softail. my first bike being a roached out '73 Sportster i rode nearly 30 years ago, then a break from bikes to raise a family, until i stepped up to a new 2017 Softail. then i had to have a 2018 Softail, and then i reached all the way up to a 2019 Electra-glide, and then got out. no more Harleys. but i kept hearing that little nagging voice. it was always about the Softails. those are the bike i lusted after for years. the new M8 motor is fantastic, and the Softail frame is amazing, but what was missing for me was the old school rawness of it. i told myself if i ever got another bike it would be another Softail, but an old school one. its a story i'm sure we have a ll lived out. i was at the dealer, i liked the bike, they handed me the keys, and i didn't give them back. I've heard guys say when you find your bike you just know. this was the first time i ever experienced that. and now i'm an owner of a Softail that is older than i wanted, with more miles than i wanted,for more money than i wanted to pay. but i could care less, because its what i wanted and it makes me smile every day
Theres a lot to like there, beautiful great find!
