I'm thinking along the same lines as JC. Even though I still love the sound, the pipe noise gets old after a while.
That being said, I've often wondered about a Beemer, but Patty says they (like a Wing) have no soul. Heck I loved my '82 Aspencade!
But then she also said no way to an Indian also, but while we were at Eureka Springs we stopped by the dealer and she saw them up close. Being a leather fringe kind of gal, she fell in love with them and lit all up. She even wanted her picture taken on one. I could skip the fringe all together and go for the hard bags - especially for some dumb reason that Indian didn't put locks on any of the leather bags. Really dumb.
Time will tell what we do. I still love Harleys but you gotta admit that Beemer and Indian are making some desirable bikes.
