Yep, I really feel pretty much the same way. You can really get some good poop, and I never log on that I don't get a smile from some wise acre crackin' on someone else for a silly mistake. All in good fun, great group of folks. And it really helps the cold winters pass by.

So true. The last "new" bike I rode was my '81 Shovel. The brakes, smoothness of cruising current highway speed limits, handling...I could go on. But, I still love my shovel. No disrespect to Evos, but my Shovel has "a sound" that cannot be duplicated by an Evo. To me, Shovels just have a "sweet" sound about them.

I agree with alot of what a. I was extremely nervous about working with EFI, and now I think I understand it pretty well. Thanks to this forum.

I have been riding bikes since I was awee lad, but just bought my first HD a few months back, and I feel like I am just entering the motorcycle world! HD guys (and gals) are a different breed from the import riders. I found this forum about a week ago, and I am amazed at the amount of information available on here. I have been involved in other forums in other sports, and they don't compare to this one. This has become my first stop when seeking out information and opinions on accessories and modifications I am interested in. Great forum!
