The urge is strong alright... I could see it working out for me next springtime maybe. I'd also love to buy one somewhere else in Europe just to get to ride it home!
I’ve only ever hired them in the US, but I must say I did enjoy cruising along on them. Hired a fat boy and a forty-eight, both with what seemed like open pipes. Was deaf as a post by end of the day.
Dude, do it now while you're young and can pull it off.
