Nice job on the front end; people used to bitch about the evo motor, but I think it sounds better than the TC and seems to require less maintenance.

Thanks! They're Ceriani inverted's. Motor is an S&S 113" (Evo design) and tranny is a Baker 6-speed. She dyno'd at 114 hp, 121 tq.

Alas, as I get older I'm yearning for something a bit more maintenance-free (i.e. bone STOCK). This is likely what I'll wind up with later this year, Harley's Night Rod Special:

Custom HD's do require more than their share of maintenance, especially when they're bumped up. Lifters, springs, shift shaft bearings and the endless derby and primary cover gaskets.

I read somewhere that a primary motivation in going to the TC was because S&S was building a better Evo than HD, so they shifted the playing field.

The newer bikes are apparently becoming more reliable/less maintenance.

Personally I like the bone stock naked Road King, the pre 09's or whenever it was they still had their own chassis. No windshield, solo seat, leather bags. Just a big motorcycle with a big headlight.

Fastest production bike 1949-1973 This one was Steve McQueen's.

Hunter Thompson is hysterical--and rapturous--writing about this bike.

Perg, Thompson/Vincent great combo.

Glad you liked. It's a great song.

The potential for road rash here is disturbing.

Got a question for you bike enthusiasts: If I wanted to learn to ride, what would be the best way?

I guess when the only tool you have is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail, huh?

it's not about just having a hammer. it's knowing when to keep the wrenches and screwdrivers in the box.

That's awesome news! I remember when we entered a similar state a few years ago. What a great feeling.
