    Yes. Plus, it's a waste of money to get an entry-level model. Once you get past the beginner stage, you want a more capable one. When I got my XLV, a buddy bought a mid-range SkySki as his...

    I mean that the bike is the first step in the mid-life crisis chain of acquisitions. The next step is either a boat or a Porsche.

    I never waited for a mid-life crisis. I went straight for the...

    In 2005, the engine choices were a 310 HP carb, a 325 TBI and a 340 MPI. I recall an engine upgrade price of $1200, but I cannot remember if that was 310->340 or 325->340.

    The NAPA 3299 worked great for me. It was productive to call ahead. Not all of the local stores had stock, and the one that did only keeps one in stock at a time.
