I don't think I saw a Harley in the whole bunch...which is good!

Seriously, though..there are some sweet cruisers in that vid, no doubt.
I was just up at a Harley dealer yesterday (buddy dropping off his brand new bike that won't start... ha ha), and there were only a couple of them that I really liked. I like the XR1200, and if I were to buy one, that's probably the one. They've been selling them overseas, but we just got them this year (go figure).
The other one would probably be the fatboy. They're pretty much the only one's, though. I just don't like the huge boxes and fairing and fenders on a lot of the dresser style bikes. Maybe down the road, but if I do ever want something like that, I would probably just get a goldwing..

I understand the appeal, just not really for me, I guess?

Ha ha....yep. My buddies dad had a 1982 Goldwing. It was the gold colored one, too. Just a classic.
As of 2 years ago, he still had it. It only had like 24k miles, too!

I remember it well, because every winter I would help CARRY the bike to the basement. No shlt, we carried that bike (half stripped) down a flight of steps and into his basement. That's where he stored it!

Thought you might like this if you like the old machines.
These folk are my brothers mates(he wasn't there, away with the Scots Guards at the time). One of the guys there I work beside, he's had 2 1000f's and now a Blackbird. Enjoy.
BTW- sorry no music, It's been withheld cos of copyright.

Hmmm, sounds like a JavaScript/browser hijack problem, try blocking http://*.skimlinks.com/* see how you get on.
