Default Goodbye and Thanks

My wife just bought a 2011 Victory Vegas so we are now selling the Sportster, which is posted in the classifieds.

She loved the Sporty but she wanted something that would be a smoother ride while still having good performance, and nothing else in the Harley line could compare to the Victory.

I've spent a lot of time on this site learning some great information on how to modify and maintain a Harley. Thanks for all the help and wisdom.

Sad to see a sporty member leave. But all the best. To be honest you'll always be a sporty member
