Default Going to miss my Softie..

I got out for about an hour this aft. Purred like a kitten. Don't know if I'll be able to ride my UL when I bring it home next weekend.

After about 100 miles on a Touring bike, I doubt if you will miss it much.

You'll miss it for a while. Time will cure that.

I was once in the same boat, now I have the best of both worlds. I did miss the softail, albeit I bought a SG not a UL, I wanted something non EFI and a little lighter at times. It's probably just me but, I miss the SG when I'm on the Softy, and I miss the Softy when I'm on the SG. Like having two woman and getting away with it. Niether bike bitches about the other one.

I've been putting off the switch for a while and maybe will just have to own two rides. I kinda like the custom.
