Why so much focus on the red heads ?  Blondes and brunettes can be just as much fun.
Me, I'd find a nice 05 Ultra and spend 12k on the engine and a 6 speed gear set.  I would be a screamer..

I think I would get a new Electra glide, and 1200R Sportster.
There would be money left to stage one with good Vance and Hines pipes and all.
I would then have a bike for short in-town, and canyon runs, and medium to long range rides.

Maybe a Sportster 12 and turn it into a full Street Tracker with traditonal Harley orange and black racing colors. Then get Springer and Parker to sign the number plates. With what is left hopefully a Fatbob. But then again, what do Destroyer's go for?........................................
