Sorta kinda the same here. I was looking around for an old Norton Commando when one of the guys I worked with showed me his '00 Bonneville he was trying to sell. I took it home for the night and bought it the next morning. Lightweight, nimble, and more than enough power to blast down the roads.
I like Harleys, but they have succumbed to the 'bigger and heavier is better' mindset.... and have taken a number of other manufacturers with them. (Need I mention the Thunderpig?)
