Default Street Glide is the small Harley

I have several conversations with folks about my Street Glide that go something like this:

Other person>"Now which Harley is that?"

Me> "That's a Street Glide."

Other Person> "Oh, so which is the really big Harley?"

Me> "Well, the Street Glide is the big one, but with less chrome and no trunk."

Other Person> "No, I'm talking about the really big Harley. What is that one?"

Me> "Well, I think you are talking about the Ultra. The Street Glide is basically the same bike, but without a trunk and chrome."

Other Person> "No, the Harley I'm thinking about is a lot bigger than yours, do you know which one I'm talking about?"

Me> "Oh yes, now I understand the one you are talking about, that is the Ultra. I guess you are right, that is the really big Harley"

I've had several of those conversations. I've learned that it is easier to admit that I have a Street Glide, the "small" Harley. Sheesh!

p.s. I also learned if you use tour pack instead of a trunk, the conversation will go another 10 minutes.

Non believers are just ignorant. Tell them what they want to hear. They'll forget, or get in wrong 5 minutes later anyways.

Just another example of the ignorance that abounds. People will always have their ideas, and trying to educate the uneducated can sometimes be daunting. Don't sweat it, just ride it

If yours is the small one, I hate to think what mine is.

That's why I changed from my SG to my Ultra, I was just too big for the SG!
