That is a beautiful Night Train, really outstanding.

My take, which means zip? Right about when the leaves start changing you are going to really miss the long, lean lines of that Train. Sorta like going from a super model to a fattie who makes the house comfortable and cooks good. But do you want to take her to the beach? (Said with a smile and a wink)

Hope you're not making a mistake. Remember it's awesome to straddle a nice soft tail. Good luck on the bagger, great color.

I'm heading for a bagger myself. I'm going to try and keep my Deuce and get Harley's other ugly bike, the Road Glide. Then I can own two bikes people either love or hate.
