Default Cha Ching

Just put a $16,830 hole in my checkbook.
07 flht vivid black. Pick it up Monday or tuesday. My first HD. Kinda taking a flyer on the whole HD thing. Not really an HD guy. If this thing don't run like a champ i'm gonna be pissed. I could have got a nice Ducati for that kind of coin!! Been a few years since i've been on the street. Mostly ride woods. Hopefully this big'ol boat will keep me from doing any bonzi! moves to clear traffic. Gonna have to get a stereo tho so i won't be stressing out when stuck behind all those cars. Cruise control sounds nice too. Maybe a back rest, might change the seat, shorter windshield ... Frig sounds like that hole in my check book is gonna get a little deeper .....

Trailer hitch so i can tow my dirtbike to the woods!!! Fug!! when will it end

Give it a chance I have a buddy that gave me hell about my Harley and he had a crotch rocket. He is slowly converting. He bought a beat up honda crusier and even mentioned getting a Harley in a few years.

Oh Man!! c'mon guy, Ducati .... Italian, how can you be around bikes and not know that?? I'll forgive you. What you need to know about italy is that the entire country is bike mad. Plus the italians have a flair for design and are naturally passionate. Take a bike mad country with a flair for design and a passion for bikes and you get as mentioned above total kick *** motorcycles. Ducati is the David to the Japanese Goliaths in the road racing world. while they just went to a V 4 road race motor All their street bikes use 90 degree V twins. Some of the sweetest sounding V twins out there. Ducati = Good
