Bah...yer just a miserable old pr*ck!......how did that read? because I was laughing....

 

Yeah, the power them diesel's are putting out is pretty impressive

 

 

Yeah, just ride it for awhile. You'll know what you need once the need arises.

As far as the wife as a passenger, being on that bike won't (as you know) feel anything like being on the Bones. Totally different experience. With a decent seat and tourpack she may come to really enjoy it. Cheryl is so comfortable she has actually fallen asleep on it on long trips.

Just the miserable son of a bitches riding them is my only other complaint.



I'm kidding Stan. I don't recall saying I didn't like the fairing. I believe I said it worked well and I couldn't feel much difference between it and the batwing save for it feels weird that it's so far away vs the batwing. But I'm sure I would adjust. And I actually prefer the look of the Road Glide to the Street Glide in some respects.

But the bars I do hate. Doesn't make it a bad bike. I just find them very uncomfortable. But someone must like them because they put them on there for a reason. What are your thoughts on the bars? Do they feel natural to you?

 

Tell you what though, 23 mpg when we went to TN this past summer, and towed 14k easily. Pulls our 6k rv like it isn't even there. It's awesome.

 

I see the double mask mandate is catching on.....

 

I think she should try the head/bag approach.

 

Certainly would improve my view.

 

We're good Bob, it's winter .... and you may recall I have just completed a 2 year run of a BMW driver on a HD Forum...LOL. My skin is once again thickening.
Personally I like the fairing out away from me, and at 6' the stock bars work well in my experience, but that doesn't mean it works for everyone.
Thanks

 

Hey, Russ.....I guess I've been doing it wrong. No wonder I didn't think it would work
