Well lads I too have gone to the dark side but I will be finishing the build on the storm and keeping it. I pick up a new dyna superglide custom tommorrow. After riding the R1 for a while including a trip to Foster I have decided that the sportsbike riding position is no longer for me(am nearing the half century and the body can't take it) .I have been contemplating this and test riding a lot of cruisers and finally decided on the Dyna plus it is $5k cheaper than 6 months ago so it paid to wait. It wont be coming bog standard though with the addition of vance and hines big bore pipes and screaming eagle stage 3 breather kit and pro tuner . Will post a pic after I pick it up tommorrow.

I don’t think you are stupid. You just have a bad luck when thinking.

If one thing, they give you a thicker skin :-)
The Dyna will definitely be a more relaxing ride.

Slicer I'm a man that doesn't need convincing trust me I've been looking at a cruiser for another bike for 3 years now and I've test rode quite a few including the Victory Hammer and after riding the Harley I was sold ...pulls like a 14 year old and handles exceptionally well for a bike its size ...can't wait to have the storm sitting next to it though am definately getting too old for the R1..... rode that sucker to Foster and have never been so sore after a ride.
