Default The Springer is home

Man I love this bike, I can't believe how far they have come with the Softail since 93 this thing rides great. And there is no vibration at all compared to my EVO, but do sort of miss the shake when sitting at a stop sign that let's you know that there is some thing going on down there. The weather was cloudy, windy and about 46-48 deg. great day for a ride got about 80mi. on before my finger's started to go numb. but I never really noticed till I got home and tried to take some pic's Ill have to get some better ones when I thaw out some.

I really like the understated simplicity of that bike. And the fishtails look better on your bike than any others I've seen so far. VERY cool!

Thanks and to tell the truth Ive never really been a big fish tail fan but they just seem to work with this bike. And I was going for the retro look .

Congrats, JB. That Springer looks SWEET! So many bikes, so little time. I wish that I had gotten into Harleys years ago. Ride safe and enjoy that beauty.
