A majority of ChopCult readers who don't already own one say the next bike they plan to buy is a shovelhead. Evo's already leak oil on most CC readers' garage floors. There was no shortage of either style big twin at the Dave Mann Chopperfest this month, and these were some of our favorites.
Full disclosure: I'll never be man enough to own a kickstart motorcycle: that's Billdozer's legacy around here. I do, however, love AMF's contribution to the Harley dynasty, so that's what I shoot when one catches my eye. I'll probably catch hell for at least one Evo in this gallery, but I can take it. What can I say—I like reliable motorcycles!

AMF probably gets undeserved bad reps when in fact they saved the Motor Factory from a sure death. Most the people owning and riding Shovels these days weren't even born yet but a Shovelhead has an allure. Plus, these old "Leaky" Shovels have out lasted most Motorcycles from back then.
