I've had a birthday since my last post on this thread. So I'm now - 57.
Or as they say in Texas "I'm gonna be 58 in September".
No chit, when I moved down here and heard this the first time I kinda laughed from a guy in his 60's.
Then I heard it that way again and again and again. lol .........I still laugh.
My close friend that I ride with thought I was nuts, I sold a CVO Springer to buy this bike. The first time we rode together he was complaining about getting hit with a bug, he said a fat one caught him on his lip. Later on in the day he had to slow down, his deuce was throwing sparks in the turns trying to keep up.
I liked my springer, it just didn't suit my riding style. I sold it after returning from a 2-up trip from Ohio to New York state, then riding every day in New York exploring the area. 500 mile day there, 300+ each day, 500 mile day back. I know it's possible to tour on anything, but I also knew the springer was worth enough money that selling it and buying a RK wouldn't cost me anything. I'm happy with my decision, and will probably ride this bike for a very long time.
