Is that what they say? I didn't get to go today. Tomorrow morning I'm driving three hours to test ride one, then who knows? I know where a crossbones is at, also. I'm leaning towards the classic springer, though. I'm not into the bobtail fender of the bones, so much.

Feel the chrome. Go for a Heritage Springer. Plenty out there at decent prices.

Well, I rode a springer today. People say you either love it it hate it, I loved it. A springer is in my sometime future.

In 1968 a Springer almost killed me. Most of the problem as me drag racing another bike and not maintaining my old Springer. I didn't know anything about maintaining a Springer back then.

I haven't owned a Springer since my crash in 1968. At this time in my life, I've been working and building bikes for 46 years and know a lot more about maintaining a Springer. It's time for a Springer bike.

Here's my Springer build. It should be running some time next year.
