Default Sleeper Baggers!!

Hello enthusiasts,The very first motorcycle that I had the pleasure of gazing at in the 1950's was a Harley Bagger.When I turned 14yrs old,it took me 2 wks paychecks to pay for my first 80" flathead Harley.Since then,I have built several,owned several new ones,and the last 2, after 40yrs in the saddle,are Road Kings, 1 with a 124" S&S Evo,1 with a 155" R&R Twin-Cam.My wife of 38yrs loves, Harleys also.We have a couple muscle cars,69 SS Chevelle,and 65 AC Cobra,both Big Block cars.Finally our latest venture is 2 cylinder John Deere tractors.I would be very interested talking with anyone who owns or would like to own a mega inch Harley.Until you have thrown a leg over a 130+hp Harley,it is impossible to describe the experience,and the sound, well that is also hard to describe,other than very punchy.Live to Ride!!
