I met Gardo at the PIT booth at last year's Dealer Expo, or maybe the year before. I thought he worked for them in some capacity. Seems like a nice guy. I wish him well if he's left our little group.

Now on to why I logged on. I got an email from Sunny about what I'll refer to as the Second Generation Bubba. I'm sorry I can't copy and paste the photos but I'm sure they'll show up on the web site once the old inventory is gone.

Major changes I can spot:
-Black Springer Front end
-Black (10"ish) Z-bar handlebars
-Fuel tank appears to be more of a Sportster shape - Nice
-A proper solo seat, smooth upholstered black vinyl
-Upgraded brakes F&R (no details given)

Wholesale cost has gone up so expect the street price to be a few hundred $$$ more that last Summer's price.

[EDIT: I just noticed that there is no front fender on the springer. That may cause some legality issues in some areas.]
