No child support?...I doubt that, just wait till something breaks and you'll be over there helping to fix it!

Make sure you come back from time to time and tell us how it's going.
I bought a 2012 sportster but wish I got the fat bob.

But, can't beat the sportster for some quick fun...
.. My other bike is a 800 lb kawaski voyager and it was just too heavy for fun and games.
