Heritage Softail Classic 5 Years, 7 Months ago  
Had a funny thing happen today at one of the large Harley Davidson dealerships. I had been out on a ride with some of my buds and they wanted to run by the HD dealership to see about buying some chrome. I have a 2005 RS Silverado with V&H Powershots and as I was parking the bike at the dealership, a guy came running from the front door of the showroom -- he ran almost 100 yards -- and said to be with the biggest grin on his face, "That's a Heritage Softail Classic, isn't it? I'd recognize that sound anywhere!" You should have seen his expression change when I point out the Yamaha emblem on the back fender! I think he was a little embarrassed but we shook hands, laughed and he went back into the dealership!
