Outstanding Ripp, good to see lady lucky making a dream hunt possible.

Unfortunately Harleys statically are over represented in crashes. I know two fellas in there 50's who thought they take up cruising on hogs after early retirements. Both lasted less than 12 mths, Not sure whether its the dark colour or the lack of manouvarability of a Harley but when the shit happens you dont wont to be on a Hog !.

think part of the issue is, they were designed to be driven at 70 MPH and now with the larger engines and all the add on's--they are being ridden quit a bit faster than originally designed for..HOWEVER for 2009 and forward--the frame is completely redesigned..in fact the new models had 455 changes...

I have ridden bikes my entire life---have had a Harley for 15 years..riding a motorcycle is certaily more dangerous that in a car..but man they are fun..so, already picked up a new one--sure one day I will meet my demise on one--but would much rather go out that way that sitting in some old persons home waiting for the days to pass ..
