Default 2012 demo rides

Local dealer was having demo rides of all the 2012 models. I spent over 2 hours riding the different models. Man, I really enjoyed the ultra glide. Also liked the road king. Good times

Yep, same here. In between rain showers, rode a 2012 Road King Classic and for the hell of it, a 2012 Street Bob. Love the Road King, awesome classic look and rides like a dream, but I'd never trade down from my Street Glide.

I did the demo rides today too. Got to ride the Switchback, Night Rod Special, and Blackline. I actually liked them all. The road captain was cool when I rode the NRS (they always have the VRods ride up front with them). He said he could see I knew how to ride, and didn't mind if I hung back to open a gap and wanted to twist the throttle to see what she could do... so I took full advantage lol! Normally they don't want riders "slingshotting" like that, so it was a rare treat.

I'll get my chance in a few weeks in Sturgis, always like to take one of the CVO bikes for a ride each year. Don't believe you can do that at the dealership open houses, and they let you run the loop on your own which is nice.

rode the CVO with the 110 motor and it was meh, ok. It didnt really pick up like I thought it would. Still a nice bike but not for that kinda money
