Bikes are like women. They are all beautiful, just some are more beautiful than others.

Just don't ask me to carry your **** if you don't have bags.

Have a Sporty, and a Super Glide, I'd love to own a Road Glide for long highway rides. Who knows maybe in the next couple yrs I'll add one to the stable

IMO the new Yamaha Eluder is better than either of the two. More features, better ergos, more power, more sporty handling, and all for a lot less.
