Alright, I haven’t had time to post the winner for the simple fact that my ass hasn’t been off the bike long enough to do so and using my laptop doesn’t work on a motorcycle. 
So, I actually didn’t buy either one of the bikes that I listed on the last post, but instead bought a 2009 Softail NIGHT TRAIN. I couldn’t help myself really. Once I seen this one and sat on it…I instantly knew that it was the one. So…..Here it is!
Air-cooled, Twin Cam 96B™
96.00 cu. in.
3.75 in. x 4.38 in.
87.90 ft lbs @ 2750 rpm
Okay, so I have to make one of the toughest decisions in my life! Below you will see 2 bikes and only one of these will come home with me tomorrow….which one will it be?
This is the Harley Davidson Night Rod! Choice number 1.
The aggressive speed screen visor framing the headlamp tells you they better be ready. Mid-mount controls set you up with a riding position that screams “go.” New black, five-spoke cast aluminum wheels, optional ABS brakes and a liquid-cooled 125-horsepower, 1,250-cubic-centimeter Revolution® engine leave no doubt about the hot rod inspiration behind this beast. Optional chrome engine covers provide the sparkle. If you haven’t gotten the message yet, one twist of the throttle clears up any doubt.
2009 H.D. Custom “Chisel” XL1200N Nightster / Option #2
What a HOT paintset! Additional features include all new HD Black Diamond grips, black mini-apes handlebars, black forward controls, and black diamond clutch, brake and throttle cables.
So which will it be……I don’t know, but I will be happy to tell you as soon as I bring one of these SEXY BEASTS home tomorrow!!!

Emotional intelligence has to do with your way of reacting to things and of understanding other peoples? feelings and emotions on an intuitive level. People with a high level of emotional intelligence are simply skilled at emotions in general including personal emotions, emotions of a person, and the emotions of a whole group. Not only can people with high emotional intelligence understand emotions readily, they can also take this understanding and shape the emotions of each. Basically, people with emotional intelligence simply have the ability to get a long with other people.
This seems simple, but not everyone has a high emotional intelligence level. Ever wonder why some people simply can?t get along with others? They probably do not have a lot of emotional intelligence. Either that or they just do not care about how other people feel and try to deliberately hurt others.
When you have a high amount of emotional intelligence, this can actually benefit you in many ways. First, people with a high emotional intelligence quotient, or EQ, tend to be excellent sales people, marketing experts, and succeed in the work force in general. They also make great psychiatrists and psychologists because they are really in tune with the human condition.
So how do you know if you have a high amount of emotional intelligence? You can assess your personality by consulting with a personality and emotional intelligence expert. There are plenty of tests you can take and way to get assessments. You can also take an emotional intelligence quiz that you find online.
There is some controversy surrounding the notion of emotional intelligence. Is this a branch of intelligence or merely a type of personality trait? The issue has been debated extensively in certain circles. But to most, the idea makes sense. The fact that there would be a certain type of person who seems to handle people better than others is undeniable. Whether or not this is a determiner of a certain kind of intelligence is the part in question.
One thing is certain. People with a high amount of emotional intelligence can not only understand and manage their own emotions, but those of individuals and even larger groups. This is an essential trait for people who work with others.
