Yeah the ride is rough, and Ive gotten pretty good at getting up on the pegs.




Yup, posting up on the mids works best. NY roads are really bad, so this is a daily routine. Probably why the Nightsters come stock with mids. The engineers were like, damn, that hurts, this thing needs mid controls!

I consider it part of my daily leg workout. The Nightster is a very interactive. It is not a sit back and relax ride.

A few bumps have caught me unaware and slammed my upper and lower teeth together!!! lol
Ouch. But I've actually never bottomed out at speed. Speed-bumps in mall parking lots can be a problem though. Usually I go around the edges of them close to the curb.
But for the record, none of this diminishes my love for the Nightster one lil bit.
