BL and Mach: nice pics! I ran errands on my softail today. I love cars but nothing compares to the visceral experience of the bike. IMO Mach, like your situ, my wife likes the Porsche better than the bike.... lol

The Buell Thunderstorm engine puts out 103 hp!! With 84 ft-lbs. of torque!! That kind of torque makes shifting fairly optional...lol So you can just cruise along leaving it in gear or get on it and keep things boiling.

I also took the wife for a ride in the Boxster, top down, sun shining...... I got to admit it is great to contrast that with the bike experience. Yes, life is good when you got both..........
