A customer of mine just bought a road glyde for 38 FUCKING THOUSAND DOLLARS. I said “Hey man, you know 38k buys you a REALLY nice car that normally has 3 more wheels than your bike, right?” It’s disgusting.

One thing about the FWD V8 put into these cars at this time - the LS4 - is how much it eventually revolutionized custom FWD builds for GM enthusiasts.
