I think HD and metric tour bikes are all similarly priced. --- that's better, nicer anyways. LOL

aint that the truth. Now days I actually enjoy pedalling a bike now and then. family functions I show up in my Jeep without the hemet head that everyone expects.

I tell everyone, some people have a mid life crisis and buy a bike. Mine will be slowing down on riding so much and getting a pedal bike. I even have a clean driving record now days. LOL Haven't had a ticket since I turned 40.

Thumbs down Caveman, SAD

Well, it looks as if I wont be getting the HD anytime soon..... I have too many projects to do around the house and my stupid debt ratio is too high. I didn't think it was that much, but I don't run the banks. Shitty....

he needs a buell rocket like he needs a third hole to breath out of. Which I think would probably happen if he told his wife that. She's ex-army and I feel trained enough to pull it off.
