I have it on good authority that the moco will be discontinuing the Vrod, and that the new Milwaukee 8 will be phasing out the TC's. I will keep playing with my Shovel and Evo.

Shovels are great beginner bikes, once you master working on one you are ready to move up to a Pan, Knuck, or Flatty.

I do like them, but prefer the really visceral feel of a rigid frame Pan, just something about how basic and primitive they are.

To me, Shovels were the beginning of a much more refined machine.

But hey, I still wish I had my old '69 Sporty!

I've never ridden a Knuck, but my first bike was a WL45 flathead basket case. I painted our mailman's barn in trade, took me most of the summer to do it, but I had the coolest bike in the school.
