Well...it looks like I may be shelving my idea of getting the Stallion Trike...at least for the immediate future. Maybe when I get a little older and start doubting my ability to hold a heavy motorcycle up and start to dropping it on ocassion...then I'll move into trike land and it probably will be the Stallion.
And for my choice of bikes it looks like I am at my "getting the best of both worlds" decision making time again. I am going to go for the Rocket III Tourer and the 1700 Thunderbird. I was having a hard time deciding between the Tourer and the Thunderbird so I decided I will probably get both...that'll solve that problem real fast.
One of my misgivings on the Tourer was I was afraid that'll the colors will remain the same. I've decided that if it doesn't come out in the color I would prefer I will just "selectively" paint the few offending items and make it to where I can live with it. The 1700 Thunderbird currently is going to be offered only in those two slow colors (like the Roadster...Gloss Black and Matte Black) so I will also probably keep some of the black pieces but I will selectively paint a few of the pieces in red to highlight it some.
Still have 5 months to go before I do this but in March I should have my bikes...go away for two months, finish my time with Dyncorp and then come home for some heavy riding...as soon as my wife and I finish our vacation time together.
