I love my softtail, I have built it to fit me just right. I can go down the street or across country on it. Some prefer baggers and some love their dynas, to each their own. As long as you respect others taste in bikes and they respect you, it dont matter what people ride.

Amen; I started on a Doodlebug at 10 years old. First Harley when I was 16. There weren't to many models back then, so it was between Indian and Harley. For you guys that have never heard of a Doodlebug, they were the original mini bike with a genuine kick start back in the late 40's. Came with a 1&1/2 horse Briggs and Straton engine. I thought it was cool. Till I got a Cushman.

Im not so sure I believe that statistic either. In my neck of the woods, I see a lot more Softails on the road than I do Dynas or Sportsters. Most of the Softails are Heritages because its a great versitile bike. The touring bikes have always been big sellers and with all the new features being offered on them, it only makes sense these are what people are going for. If I was buying new today, I'd probably go for a Touring bike with a 103.

I agree with you totally. I respect the experienced riders that ride the Road King etc but for me I rather ride my Heritage than a King any day.
A lot of OLD Bikers want the Heritage. They say because of its weight and ride. The 10 percent of the country know their bikes sounds about right. Most of the 90 percent not all but most are just buying the idea of touring from what I have seen.
