it's not worth it in most cases.  With Avion, I bought there $150 a bottle stuff and didn't like it near as much as their $60 offering -- even their $49 bottle is better than the Avion 44.

The most expensive bottle I've had was a $120 plus bottle of DJ but I preferred the Reposado. I can get that in Mexico for around $23. Have a relative who works directly for the owner of Patron.

@RickD deer were never around there I chose that stretch as the best around only at the time I was headed to work.

I live at a lake, when I first moved  here hunters were allowed to shoot them. Over time many more houses were built and the deer are over populated. Have to be careful driving a car.

One of our dogs chased an older doe down and knock it over. He was sure proud of himself.

there wasn't a whole lot of Harley-Davidson left on that motorcycle when we were done with it.

the Confederate Motorcycle with the Biggest S&S Motor  may be very fast , but I dont think it can reach 178mph , that would have to be one hell of a modified HD  motor to reach such a speed -

Those straight pipes are actually rockets.

I just read that HD makes a FXDR   , that can do 160mph , that's  pretty good -and it looks great , but there's one thing missing , the 2nd seat for riding 2 up with the Wife -

Question is: how can it handle in a legs forward position and raked front fork? It's a city cruiser.

Harley Motorcycles have a Character , this one is definitely a Boulevard bike for acceleration  , you dont ride this bike for a very long time , to ride long ways , you need floorboards and higher , wider , handlebars -

Been a long time since I've been on Main St, Daytona Beach. That bike would draw a few folks around! See a ram-air intake below the tank?

 stroked Evolution S&S motor and cases  , cylinders , heads  , maybe a 96 cubic inch or higher , and a Turbo KIT / intercooler

  this looks quite similar to the Russ Collins  RC Engineering turbo  kits for Jap bikes , but fitted for a HD

My MT-10 has "Ram Air" on both sides of the tank. Both fake. As is the gas tank. Tank is more like a gas can 

buried under metal and plastic. Bike is a ***** to work on. My BMW is the opposite, easy to maintain

That's a photo of an RB Racing Orca single cam with one of their turbos from the website. Just a quick grab off the 'net for example. Ours was similar but not an RB kit.
