My dealer has a points program. Last year when I got my 35K service, I redeemed 2500 points that was worth $200.

 

I got a 2014 Low Rider on Valentines Day. Now that I have some time on alone and with a passenger, the suspension is horrible. Too soft and too harsh at the same time. I have not ridden a motorcycle in 17 years. At that time I rode sport bikes and mostly on a race track or in the mountains. Did some research and I am going to upgrade the front suspension to Andreani cartridge for the fork and he Biturbo shocks on the rear. Already got a Sundowner seat for my wife. it sits me higher and closer to the bars not too happy about that but my wife likes the bigger passenger seat.

 

I had a Sundowner on my '06 LR, but kept the stock seat on my '15 as my wife rarely rides on that bike...she prefers the Bagger...

 

I actually really like the stock seat, both in terms of looks and comfort. It's good for me for solo riding up to about 250 miles in a day before it starts getting sore. My wife prefers the sundowner when she rides with me but I hate that thing. Sure its comfortable but its ugly and I don't like how high up it sits me. I have thought about sending either of my seats to mean city cycles to have them either a. make my stock seat more comfortable for long rides or b. make my sundowner seat sit lower and further back.

 

Congrads. Good to hear from a new LR owner. Be sure to post some pics once you get the mods done.

 

Today is the first day that restrictions have been relaxed again so that we can socialise outside with up to six people and we're not legally obliged to remain in our own locality; and surprisingly the weather was good too. So, with just over 7 hours in the saddle and 295.5 miles covered, it's been a good day.

 

Graham, that's what I call a good day!

 

The bike came with a BMC seat. I will use it for myself or short rides with her. Didn't know anyone modified the Sundowner seat. Good to know.

 

Very nice mix of bikes. Can the LR keep up with the Duc and the Guzzi?

 

Thank you. I used to own that Guzzi before I sold it to Tim! If anything, the LR is a little quicker than the Guzzi. Yesterday, he was leading, and I was the back-marker; usually the friend on the BMW S1000RR back-marks so he can fall behind and then race to catch up! He says he rides with us partly to help himself from going too fast all the time. Yesterday, the Ducati was directly in front of me most of the way and had way more acceleration than me. But our friendships go back a long way; we never overtake each other (except in exceptional circumstances, and then with great care), always watch out for each other, and just enjoy being together. We understand if anyone's getting frustrated and cut each other slack; sometimes the S1000RR and the Ducati race off together without us, and then wait for us to catch up. To be fair, we usually avoid 'motorways', preferring the more demanding, twisty lanes, which puts us more on a 'level playing-field'.
