any reason you can't buy it and keep both?

I love my HD truck, but I also love my fobra, the truck is great, and with 14psi it's pretty fast, with the hotchkis TVS kit on it it handles fairly well, but it's still a truck [patriot]

hard to argue with the uniqueness/power/comfort/total package of a blown HD though.

out of my 5 cars - `89 h/c/i/procharged/MM/5 lug notch, `91 convertible, `97 fobra, `96 tahoe sport 2dr 4x4, and the `02 HD...if I had to get rid of them all and only keep 1, there's absolutely no question that I would keep the harley.
