The Tourist
Banned
Due to my age and background in motorcycles, I've spent decades stripping things off of a bike. I kind of figured I would never lust after an Electra-Glide-ish bike, and that was that.
However, today I saw a new candy red 103-inch Softie Deluxe. Wow.
It had more chrome than my Aunt Clara's hip replacement. I even liked the whitewall tires. But it was when I sat on the thing that love blossomed.
I have a love/hate relationship with the suspensions on Dynas and Sportsters. I like those bikes, and I figure I can use the stock suspensions to "hold the bike upright" until I get something decent in place. But I've always admired that old saddle design with the chrome bar wrapped around the rear lip of the seat. Cushy.
Now, I love Betty, but I think it's about time she's leaves home and finds someone else to try and kill. I need a little spitfire for around home, and I need a road bike. Not a rolling entertainment center, but a bike for miles.
Yikes, I'm falling in love with a dresser...
