Grats.

Let me ask you a question, how many times did you almost crash, playing with all the buzzer and bells?

1. Pictures are coming in a week or so, as I stated in the original post.

2. Rides and handles really well compared to the Heritage. Torque is great and no damn vibration at 80 mph.

3. I haven't noticed any unusual noises from 5th gear. I thought they all grunted, banged, whizzed, and sputtered. Anyway, I don't give a whack. I'm not purist. If it breaks, I'll either get it fixed or put a new one under it.

4. Maverick Motors in Cheyenne. Worth checking out if you're in the market. They're a thousand miles from me and I'll go back. Nice folks, great deal and nice ride up there.

5. After 46 years of marriage, I just do whatever I want. Regardless of what I buy, they will get over it in a week or so, and I'll still have my stuff. It's the security need that makes women negative about major purchases and long rides.
