Go for it, then u'll have both worlds! I love mine. Had prior HDs before and this is the most comfortable. If you like the ride, looks and handling, buy one!

Don't do it. They are ugly and there are starting to be way too many of them on the road.

Seriously, you'll love it I'm sure. Some good deals around on pre-'07's too.

Yeah, when I started on this forum there were only a few of us. Now, every Tom, Dick and Harry has one.

Its the only bike have ever owned. I will keep it until they come out with another Screaming Eagle Roadie with Terries paint sceme. The black and orange is awesome with the eagle head.
