On the above statement Harley owners are creatures of habit and have a cost ceiling on a purchase. Mostly ride with Shovel guys, they think Harley's ceased in 1984, been riding the same Evo for 13 years and not a TC fan, always thought a Roadglide was the ugliest bike made but now have a TC 05 Roadglide lol, along with the Evo and have upgrades for their purpose.
When we go on friend rides Shovels, Evo's, 88 TC, 96 TC, 103 TC and M8's may be running together, the older stubborn guys usually make fun of the new bikes, I make fun of both older and newer bikes, the new guys are trying to figure it out but at the end of the day we ride together with a lot of laughs and passing on Harley heritage from the Shovel guys, win win. Pretty much makes my point on a purchase that makes one happy not others.
Thanks! Glad to be part of such an active forum. This thread got lost to the point where I had to log in to find it!
