i bought a Softail new in '05. Rode it quite a bit. Got married, and we rode a lot. Got divorced, and still rode to clear my mind. Took a trip to the Black Hills, and got completely spoiled. Got home, and riding around home wasn't fun anymore. Bike sat the last year I had it. The fall my buddy hit a deer on his bike, and got busted up pretty bad. My bike went up for sale the next day. Used the money towards my racing. Haven't missed the bike one bit.
