PS - I'm curious as to why you hate Harleys. I have always loved ALL motorcycles, and after about 12 years with no American Iron (okay, it's now mostly Aluminum) in my garage, I added a 2000 Softail to my modest bike collection a couple of weeks ago.
Of course, it HAS rained every single day since I picked it up, so now that I think about it maybe the "Two-wheeled gods" are trying to send me a message. Perhaps: "You should have just stuck with the BMWs and Triumphs"...
