i have a superglide. i've had the front end up once. been over 100 a couple times. it doesn't accelerate like a sportbike but it aint sitting still either. with exhaust/jet/ and intake it should have a little grunt to it.

having both will be very nice.

dubbs... That's a sweet price for a sweet bike. If too loud, there's a massive after market to fix that. I'd go for it. Complements well what you already ride.

Picked it up for 4,900.. Wouldn't really budge off the price since we both felt it was an incredibly fair price. Got it on the road already.. Hopefully will get to ride it to work tomorrow.

Yeah I think so.. I don't see the point in only wearing a half helmet.. Besides the fact that I don't want to buy anything else, I've been hit quite a few times in the face mask by nasty rocks.. I don't care how ridiculous I look, At least I'll keep my jaw/skin intact..

No reason not to wear jacket/pants either..

Yup 5 vehicles.. I think I need a bigger garage..
