Just had my first drive on a big twin... I'll never be the same.

Just had the opportunity to take a heritage softail classic for a short ride. Man, oh man what a difference! I have gotten so used to the rough ride of the sportster that it didn't seem so bad. Man that big twin was smooth!!!

Oh yes, It will be mine, oh yes...

someday,
Still like my Sportster

Lightnin is an unknown quantity at this point
That's the great thing about a sporty.....everything seems like a ride on a lazyboy afterwards.

The big twins are a nice ride.... but they to have there place..... The sportster is still a real motorcycle and it can do things no big twin can... That's why I own one of each...

I have been watering my bike for the past three years. I can see it sprouting into a big bike by this time next year. I hope.
yea I have been on a heritge too, sweet ride. but for "fun" it does not beat a sporty.
but I am in the mode to put lots of miles down and it is getting to be a real pain in the butt (literally)to do it on a sportster.
later
