Trust me... night and day improvement on the 2009 + years. You would be surprised. They look the same... but way no, they aren't. That is a HD thing. Make it look like it always has, but perform better. Also, yes, they have a standard 6speed now... I think 2007 or 08

No and no. The TL has been sitting over a year so I have some maintenance that needs to be done and other projects have been in the way. I started taking a supplement with condroitant amd glucosumene that's been working wonders for my knee so riding cramped up should be no issue... Its just a matter of prepping the bike.

I start a new job on Monday and I'm looking to buy a house so I fear it will be on hold for a bit while longer. I have the itch BAD but my priorities just aren't lining up.... Yet.

Sweet write up OSP. One of my general manager's her in the city is trying hard to sell me his HD Sportster. I know its not even close to what you rode, but it might be worth atleast coaxing a test ride out of the guy....

BTW.... there is way too much love in this thread. Did everybody's significant other put out today or something???

congrats on being back on 2 wheels. It always surprises the crap out of me when I get the opportunity to ride one of those big HD's and it corners like there's no tomorrow.

One day I'll have one in the stable (like after the little one is through college)
