I am a proud new..........
Owner of a Harley Davidson. 
After serious consideration of looking at other bikes I still kept gowing back to the damn Harley dealer.
I bought myself the 2005 1200 Sportster Custom. Rode it out of there today but still have to go back next saturday to get my screaming eagle exaust & other options put on the bike.
Only have 14 miles on it now & sitting here wondering why I'm typing this message when I should be out riding.
Looks like my old Yamaha will be going up for sale. I just won't need it anymore. No sence in keeping it because I know that I probally won't ride it again unless something seriously goes wrong with the Sportster.

Just took pics but I'm not at that digital stage yet. I'll have to have them developed then transformed into digital. I think wal-mart still can do that.
My Yamaha must be jelous. I just fired it up so I can move it to clean it up to sell.
The damn thing started, died, then flooded itself out. I'll get er running again. Just have to promise not to sell her & she'll start. Don't tell my Yamaha that I'm going to lie to her though.

Harley has a rice rocket also. It is called the V-Rod.
I got the pictures now, they are linked below.
I don't think the pics look good in digital, but here they are.
The last time I trust wal-mart to transfer pics for me. I guess I better look into buying a digital camera now.
pic 1
pic 2
pic 3
pic 4

I went and bought some misc. nuts & bolts tonight so I can put parts back on my Yamaha before I attempt to sell it.
When I came out of Lowe's, there were 3 men standing around my bike. My first thought was "great, wrong gender to attract" but we had a good 30 minute conversation before I could get out of there.

that 05 Sportster has a very smooth ride.
The engine is rubber mounted to absorb shock & the shocks are great.
After all day of riding the Harley I finally fired up the Yamaha (it was being stubborn) and rode it for awhile.
I don't know why I put up with the 25 year old vibrator for so long. The Harley rides much better & the Yamaha is now for sale.
