Where, may I ask, is the North Texas Hill Country? I live in North Texas and there ain't many hills around here.

Mineral Wells area. Pk Lake and the surrounding area is nice and hilly. We affectionatly refer to it as hill country.

We haven't decided yet but I was talking to a co worker last night and he told me about his dads 2006 springer softail with the 200 rear tire! Went and looked at it last night real quick...stock and in mint condition except it has 10,000 miles, aftermarket pipes that sound great, sissy bar with aftermarket seat that's real comfy, luggage rack over rear fender and custom forward control pegs/boards shaped like flames with heel and toe controls.

Wanted 12,000 but said he will take 10,000 cash. Looked on the internet for value and that seems like a good buy while being close to what we are looking for.

Anyone have experience with this model? How's the ride with that skinny front tire?

Btw, thanks for all the replies!
