If you really hate to start it,,,,, then don't[:@]

One thing the MOCO can do is keep a secret. The rumors that come out early are almost ALWAYS way off base,,,,

The Trike for 09 would make sense. I know that MoCo annouced a partnership with Lehman Trikes in 08 but I have yet to see one on the HD showroom floors in my neck of the woods (Tulsa).

Stranger things have happened. Both rumors are good ones but the secret part is also true. We have already had a CVO Road glide and it may be time again. I for one hope the MOCO continues to break with tradition as they did this year offering a 3 year CVO run on the Ultra.This was the first time they have ever gone for 3 consecutive years with a CVO.My guess is there will be an 09 CVO Ultra.An HD trike I believe is also a strong possibility and I think we may also see a CVO Street gilde in 09 and I would not be surprised at all to see a CVO Sportster. These are just my guesses.I have no basis in fact and those who do will not talk.To piggy back on one comment earlier: Our country would be much better off if it could keep secrets as well as the MOCO. Sure is fun to speculate though.

I can't wait for the 09's to come out. Then I can be like the guys with "older" bikes, and talk bad about how the new mofications are not needed or questionable.
Oooooo I cant wait
