  • 09 Night Train- Denim Black
    By  (I am an Owner) on Dec 17, 2010

    I bought mine from Rossmeyer HD in Ormond Beach Thanksgiving 2009. I rode it all the way home back to Milton, Florida which is just 22 miles from the Florida/Alabama line on I-10. What a nice way to break a bike in! My only issue is with the rider ergonomics. The drag bars on it are pretty far forward ...

  • THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS
    By  (I am an Owner) on Mar 31, 2010

    YOU CAN CRUISE, GO FAST , LEAVE ON A ROAD TRIP AND KNOW YOU WILL MAKE IT BACK, AND PULL OVER FOR GAS OR FOOD AND DRAWE A CROWD THAT RESPECT A FINE PIECE OF ART. THE PRIDE I GET FROM OWNERSHIP IS ONLY DWARFED BY THE RIDE AND COMFORT OF THE BIKE. THIS IS MY FIFTH HARLEY FROM A 65 ORIGINAL PAN TO NA ...

    By  (I am an Owner) on Dec 10, 2009

    I OWN A 1965 PAN AND A 1985 SPORTSTER AND HAVE RIDEN MANY MORE. THIS IS THE BEST ONE BY FAR. I DON'T EVEN LOOK AT PARTS CATALOGS LIKE I USED TO. NO NEED TO. THIS BIKE NEEDS NOTHING BUT A RIDER AND OPEN ROAD. THIS IS THE BRIGHT SPOT IN HARLEY'S LINEUP AND THEY HAVE BTO BE PROUD OF THIS BIKE. WHEN ...

  • The Dark Side
    By  (I am an Owner) on Nov 01, 2009

    Prior to purchasing my 2009 FXSTB, I'd been riding my 1993 883 Sportster. Wow, what a change. Slung low and lean'n over is the best way I can describe the Night Train. She makes you feel like a gunslinger of the "Wild West". Proud to say she has 7300 miles and counting.
