It's exactly the reason I got a Sportster.It's "me" time,not "us" time.I just prefer to ride alone.

That's a good honest answer...lol
When you been maried for 20 years, well....nevermind. Yer right.
I'd love to turn my current into a Cafe racer clone. I've seen guys on ebay that have done it.
My previous HD was a 1978 XLCR 1000. I still have nitemares about selling it.
Doubled my money on it, so it was a good deal at the time. How I wish I had that scoot back......
