I joined the midlife crisis club...
... and bought a Harley yesterday. I'm 22 years old, so I doubt I'm having a midlife crisis 
Seriously though, the fucker is really nice compared to my Honda. A lot slower, but the ride is smoother and bike has a lot of attention to detail. What it lacks in engine it really does make up in build quality. Now I know what all the fuss is about, it's almost like riding on a Cadillac. It's just smoove.
Now I just need to find someone to buy my Honda

why'd u go with the springer? Me personally I like the 97 softail custom in which they don't make anymore.. a deuce is the closest thing to it.. it's got that chopper look. I like the night train as well.. It's easier to clean without all that chrome. Congrats on the bike though.. Enjoy the ride.. (and upgrade those brakes.. you'll need em..)

You're right though, this thing is a PAIN in the ass to clean. There is so much chrome on it that it glows in the dark. The Honda was a lot easier to clean.
The brakes on this thing are pretty good. I don't know if the PO did anything to them, but it stops a lot better than my Magna. I think it's going from rear drum to a rear disc that really makes the difference. I still don't know why Honda did a rear drum on the Magna.

And yes... the chrome was extensive and quite taxing to keep clean...
