The Bike .... if I have to replace my motor, my driveway will quickly be adorned with a Shiny new ................ (still thinking on this part)

I think I'm different than most guys here - machines work for me - not da udder way around..!! And (sorry Neo ) I might even get one of those noisy Chrome ones that have a more comfortable foot position, prices are plummeting on them and I can put up with the sputtering at idle ..

Ha, that's kinda funny 1060 since my buddy just sold his Road King and bought a GL1200. He was tired of the vibration, the feet forward position, poor handling in the curves, narrow seat for the misses, loud pipes
