Aaaahh.. EVO... looked like a shovel head on my little laptop screen. I see now on my big desktop monitor. But the shovel and the Evo kind of over lapped. They made the shovel up until 1985, but didn't start the Evo until 1984. How is it you have a 1982 Evo?This was ours before we had to sell it, due to hubbies MS problems.
Both of us really miss riding.
Shovel head... nice.
No
1982 FLT Tour Glide
1982 Shovel head
Tens of thousands of people here, and [MENTION=26011]Ernie S.[/MENTION] and me are the only two with a Harley?
Guess it's going to take people awhile to find out this forum is here...
I suspect many people here want something that was state of the art AFTER 1950!
*runs*
My first HD was a '49. Nope, no pictures survive, but it looked pretty much like this, except it was all white.

I'll take that shovel above though... that's sweet... great sound.
I have no real problem with Harleys, just won't buy one, can't justify paying that much for a bike that I see as a status symbol. The other problem is I'm old enough to remember just how bad they were and can't seem to shake that perception.

Actually - if you look at a Honda "bagger" i.e. Goldwing - and a Harley bagger - there's not that much of a difference in price - the Honda, in most cases - is more.
As noted above - quality of HD is outstanding - no more leaks/unreliability. The "networking" among HOG members and others who ride HDs is also second to none. I've been riding since the early 1980s and have owned everything imaginable - brand wise. I am speaking from experience here - HD has their shit together like no other.
Not interested in Goldwings, if I was to spend that kind of money it'd be for an Indian. Now if I could get a relatively new HD for the same price as a relatively new 1300 VStar I might be interested. Also I'm kinda short so I need a low slung saddle for both my feet to touch the ground and I hate the classic (everyone has one) black, would have to get it painted. More out of pocket.

I don't think he cares....he thinks Harley owners should be arrested for the noise...

I'd suggest a Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive...but they have relatively high seats.
Yeah but here in AZ, in the summer time, you can only ride in the early morning. Gotta be home by 0900 in July.This was ours before we had to sell it, due to hubbies MS problems.

That's too bad, I love riding, too.
And, you probably could ride year-round in AZ, no? We get too cold in Jan/Feb.....I don't like riding when it's below 40 degrees.....
Yes we could have.
This was in Calif. before we moved to AZ. and yes we rode all year round there.
