Here is some pics of the new ride, picked it up Saturday. I hear different people saying the Dyna handles better, and you need a bagger to be comfortable on the open highway etc.etc. But the bottom line is that there is no other bike on the road that I would rather have than the one I own.
Just picked up this mint condition super low mileage 2007 Deuce 6 speed trans 96 ci engine Twin Cam Blue Seude Pearl/ Vivid black two tone. Only 2k miles. Pretty much a brand new bike. 
Hey my riders. Been riding since '65. Back then I did a lot of just putt putting along back roads. I wanted a newer bike than my '63 Duo-Glide but nothing complicated or modern. It just needed to be a relaxing ride with great balance so I could joy ride. Maybe some extra grunt would be fun too.
This was the result. 2005 Deuce. Carbed. Cammed. Runs nice.
Had lots of machines in between. But I always remembered how relaxing my big old gal felt after a hard day at work.
Anybody else deliberately go for putting around instead of racing or whatever the other options are? I have other machines for going faster and more aggressive driving duty but putt-putting is my real bag.
Stay cool my brothers. And others.
The bike is basically a two-up Sportster for Big People. I am six foot and finally can ride for hours without effort. Bike is balanced and weighted to steer with confidence. When I bought it this bike was basically unrideable with pullbacks that screwed up the handling something fierce. The buckhorn barws are after trying six or seven completely different handlebar setups trying to balance the bike steering pivot. It now feels effortless and hands off steering is no problem. It steers straight and firm like it should.
Rear seat is comfortable when not occupied with tool bag duty. Really, this Deuce is one fine handling bike with cartridge fork, gas shocks, upgraded brakes, cammed and setup to feel unreal. To my mind the one thing Harley has over all other bikes is the "feel" when it is set up right. This one has that "feel."
