Well I ride mine i have a 96 EG i average around 10k to 15k a year And my take is that alot of YUPPIES who wish to feel like they are for a lack of better words BADASSES Buy harleys so they can feel "COOL" and as far as you ride when you get a chance BULLSHIT I am sure you find time for other thing you make the time to ride if you love to ride then you ride to work ride to the store ride to the barber shop any chance you get you ride if you can take the cage well why not take the bike I have a friend of mine who i dont ride with because he has a 2003 with 5k on it and he bought it new with the idea that its gonna be worth something someday thats no reason to buy a bike and as far being worth anything its a 2003 gunmetal pearl dyna wideglide just like a million others and not worth a ****in penny now or ever gun metal paint is the ugliest **** ever and worth 3k less just because of that color so if you buy a bike ride it if not dont buy because all of us TRUE BLUE bikers still make fun of you yuppies and have no respect for you

Well lets see here, I started off in the bike life at 7 years old on a 1966 250cc Harley Sprint that was made in Italy and had everything on it backward. Found it in my neighbors barn and he gave it to me if I could handle it. Went from there to a used 80 dirt bike as a teen and a 1998 used super glide was my first adult street bike that I got used at a dealer. When I got my new 04 Road King I bought it for the ride. It ended up beingthe only when its not raining rides and if it had a bug on the headlight it had to come off before it ruinedthe bike. I don't know why, but I guess it feels like my bike is more like a kid to me then a motorcycle. I truly think it is because I have always owned used bikes or other then perfect bikes and now that I have my dream bike I am afraid that it will not be there unless Icheck the garage 5 times a day to see if it is still there. I feel bad if I get it dirty. I do ride my bike a lot but only after I check the weather channel and wash and wax it. Thanks for the phyc. section send me your bill

Vindyl, a "True Blue" biker doesn't just go out and buy his bike, he builds it from scratch and rides with pride. Miles do not make a biker, a righteous attitude does. [sm=badbadbad.gif][sm=badbadbad.gif][sm=badbadbad.gif]

Troll or not, yes I built it in my dining room, designed the frame myself and did all the assembly. The details would take a lot of space so I won't go into it. Customizing is a rewarding effort, hope it is enjoyable for you, you may get more of an appreciation for the others who have sweated over their own. OCC sucks!
