Two very good points. I know I would need to talk to him about it. It is a little nerve wracking going 85 down I-95 only about 5-10 feet off the back tire in front of you. Man do you stare at that brake light a lot, lol.

We will see what happens. Got an email about interest on my bike.

Email turned out to be a dud. Guy could only afford 3 grand. Too bad I owe so damn much. Now I just want to get rid of the shadow. Lol.

I got to sit on a 06 dyna today. I've sat on Harley before but only started up one before. This one though, so much different. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but man oh man when I started up that bike. Feels nothing like my shadow. So now with My budget I'm looking a little closer. Been able to find some 90's dynas. Any thoughts on those?

Just quick ones please. I'll be going to the dyna forum part.
