I hear ya. Imports aren't getting worse but domestic has made big leaps in that dept over the past years. I'm saying the gap is closing in real quick!

Looking at some of the new machines on the floor at the local HD dealership, I'd say that gap is closing REALLY fast.

I came sorta kinda close to buying this down at two when we were changing Tommys tire. The price was right, and I would have ridden the shit out of it.
