Maybe I'd look for a used Honda Valkyrie, but I'd make sure to ride a couple of Beemers. (1200LT, K1200GT, and whatever)
Probably stuff a 120 into a done out Superglide, grab some cojones, and suck it up.
Not keen for a Wing. Maybe I could ride it with my eyes closed so I didn't have to see it. Fingers crossed that I wind up thinking one of the Beemers is the shizzle, or do the SG.
Rocket III?....no chance.
Victory? Doubt it
Nothing else interests me.

Ok I'm not trying to start a war here, but if you weren't to buy a HD bagger, what would you buy?
I'd buy this.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Uh... wait.... I already have that

Forgot to mention the Victory Vision.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; That bike really grew on me when I test-rode it.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Money would have to be no obj though.

Most likely another Venture.&nbsp\\; I really miss the power of the my last two Ventures.&nbsp\\; I would entertain the Victory Vision though, I have ridden one and was impressed.

After 3 months and 8K on my RG, I am still unimpressed with the powewr.

Probably a Victory. Haven't really thought about it though.
