Err, yeah. Bought it before riding it with a fistful of money after the insurance payout from the 'Glide write-off & couldn't get on with loadsa stuff such as riding position, engine vibes & soft front brake. Found myself waking up at night fretting about whether or not I'd done the right thing.
Mrs Reverend's take on it was simple - if you don't enjoy it, you'll never ride it so sort it. Went back to dealer who, it must be said, was brilliant & gave me good trade in before too many miles were on it.
Spent three weeks riding the whole range, old & new & plumped for the Street Glide.
5000 miles later, it was boring. That old 'x' factor was missing, I was getting disillusioned with all the throttle re-sets, high tickovers, hard suspension & cramped riding position although I did run St Tropez to home in one trip on it & 874 miles in one hit can't be sneezed at. I just found it too bland, more BMW than HD.
Always had a hankerin' after high bars & fishtails, so after much soul & bank account searching I've finally got the 'Bones.
And d'you know what? I really, really like it.
It's different, quirky, you can make it so many different things but most of all it's unmistakably a Harley & that's what was missing.
That do ya?
