I've mentioned elsewhere that my BFCG (Best Friend Charlie G.) has a Sportster and now I want to see if I can ride it again, because I don't recall the vibration/noise/etc to be all that bad. I rather enjoyed riding it. Of course, if you've read my other posts here, you'll know I'm a total greenhorn when it comes to riding motorcycles, so maybe I just didn't know any better. It was also some 3 years ago. I do know it's stock except for rear shocks and some aesthetic pieces like a logo'd gas cap, though after hearing the pipes on my BA he has plans to change his pipes... it's just gonna cost him $$$ because his bike is EFI.

Anyway, TrOjAn, even though I'm a noob and think everyone should ride what makes them happy, I'm glad you're staying with the Speedie for a while longer.
