My new ride!
Well, here is my new ride. A 2004 Harley Davidson Sportster XL1200C Custom. Pearl White with shorty matte black pipes. She looks sharp, is fast, loud and MAN does she move.
Stephanie: You know, some of my Asian bike riding friends may disown me, but I REALLY like her.
Maybe it was a misconception on my part, but for some reason I thought HDs were kind of big and while powerful, a bit lumbering.
Not with this bike. There I am, buzzing along at 80 on a deserted, straight desert highway. Goose the throttle and before I know it, the speedo reads... 100. DAMN!

Can't go wrong with the new Sportsters and the 1200 can be a rocket. Beautiful ride, Ken.
