Default Love this crossbones

Took my 2010 Crossbones to Ohio for a month of riding with my brother. Hauled it on a trailer, wait don't say it, I'm old. Give me a break. Every small town I stopped in either on the trailer or riding, a crowd would gether, sometimes as many as 3. Most thought it was restored old bike. Made me think. I bought the right bike.

I agree that you "bought the right bike" but I am a little bit biased

You need to post a few pictures for us to enjoy...

Yupper it's the best bike I've ever had. People try to guess how old it is. I've had it guessed at being a 1937 to 1956. It really makes me chuckle. The tank shift and sidecar really makes it harder to guess .
