Default Thanks and so long

It has been a pleasure being a member of the Softail forum, but I have decided to become an old man and get a touring bike. Thanks for all the help you all gave during my Bones' transformation. She's listed in the classifieds. Take care and keep the shiny side up!

I became an "old man" a long time ago, but damn I love my Bones ! Have fun with the tourer.

Now that's a damn shame. If you truly are an old man, you WILL be back. To quote a friend of mine that had a heritage, traded it in on a new ultra, and recently traded it back to a VERY NICE Heritage a year later, "... it just wasn't me. A nice ride but it just wasn't me."

My Fatboy will be in my garage when I take my last breath!!!!!

I am an old man and still love my Heritage. Hard to beat the feel of this bike. Enjoy your touring bike and let us know how it goes!

Old is a state of mind, besides I thought you old guys rode shovels and pans.

I thought my '03 Heritage was the perfect old man bike for me.



I guess I need to sell it and get a Road King.
