I just picked up a real nice black Hugger, 2003. Ive been riding the touring bikes for a few years, but thought about a sportster chopper hard tail, for a second fun bike ! As I was looking I came across this very nice unmodified (except for slip ons). Its so clean no leaks 18,000 miles, so I think I'll just keep it stock. Its a real treat to ride some thing with out all the gadgets.

Welcome and congrats on the Sporty. Yes, the bagger/ sportster combo is a great one to have. Best of luck with the new bike.
We live in ATL but have property just up the road from you in Venice; love it down there and can't wait to move there permanently.
