Default Saw some 2005 Harleys today...

Stopped by a local "stealer" today for a few tranny & oil plug "o" rings today....

They had a bunch of the new 05's on the floor.....I liked the new FL Softail springer. It has that "old school" look to it, and to me simpler looks better. This bike looks like it should have a Pan Head motor in it.......in contrast the new Screaming Eagle Fatboy looks like something off of the TV show "Pimp My Ride".....it was BUTT UGLY...so much **** on it that it was unbelievable. You'd have to be a damn Pimp to wanna ride that damn thing. Honestly I would be embarrassed to have one, and embarrassed to ride with a friend that has one. Okay....I guess I can quit now But they went overboard on this one...

Other than the new springer there wasn't much else that caught my eye....

A Female Friend Just Bought A Fatboy With The Paint That Changes Color. She Is About 5 Foot Tall Blond Hair And 95 Pounds. The Bike Works For Her. For Me It Has Too Much Stuff. I Thing It Is A Nice Bike Just Not One For Me. I Ride A 04 Wide Glide, My First Bike And The More I Ride It The More I Like It. I Laid It Down With 6 Miles On It Did Some Minor Damage. It Has Almost 3000 Miles On It Now.
