As you must know itīs snowing in Finland so itīs better to have the bike in California where I spend my winter months. When the temperature rises I fly back to Finland where my Speedmaster is waiting for the shallow summer tours.
So no more Harley rentals for me.

I am happy that you are so proud of your state Dazco.
But most of us snowbirds are very happy to spent spring and summer in the homeland. My wife and I have been snowbirds for 7 years now and live in the Orlando area during winter. Still it is nice to be back in good old Belgium after that.
I guess for PappasGarage it will be no different. Otherwise he (and I) would have made the US our place of residency a long time ago. But he can confirm if I am wrong or not.
I know it is hard for most Americans to understand but there are other good places to live outside of the US. Heck, if it wasn't for the crappy cold winters I wouldn't bother to escape Belgium.
Hey, PappasGarage , congrats man ! I ordered a black one too and prefer it over the other colors. But all 3 colors are stunning anyway.

I'm NOT proud of my state ! It has good riding weather, but i wasn't referring to my state when i said he would be dying to get back to Ca. I was referring to the fact he will be on the speedmaster in finland and will be dying to get back to where his Tbird is ! If anything i hate Ca. because of our idiotic govt.

We cant compare riding in Finland and California. The roads in Finland are very curvy and thats where THE Speedy is att home. I usually ride alone on the bike but in California accompanied by my wife so you all know the differnce.
