I rode a Metric for 58,000 trouble free miles before buying my Road Glide. I loved the bullet proof nature of the Honda but I rerely had anyone drool over or lust after my bike.

Things have changed since buying my "Fuggly" Road Glide. I have lots of complete strangers stop me and take about how good looking the bike is and discuss general MC topic. Heck.....I had three today stop me to make positve comments. (More than in three years with my Honda) I am beginning to realize that looks, sole and sensory superiority helps make up for the mechanical issues that seem to come with a Harley.

All in all... for me it is a positive. Great looking and fun bikes. I am beginning to get it.

But... to each his own.

Good deal. I just started riding about a month ago and I have gotten a bunch of compliments on my Fat Boy. Got one from a long bearded rider that has probably ridden more bike miles than I've driven. Have you posted pics or your bike?

 

Kumite,
Congratulations on your Double Promotion!
1st You now own a Harley Davidson.
2nd You are riding a Road Glide
It doesn't get much better than that.

 

Love the Road Glide. Nice bike... well balanced and I kill my buddy on his on his M109R in the twisties.

C.S. Lewis would be proud.

LIke the avatar.... and understand the significance.

But....to each his own.

I like it when the real "Old Timers" come up and start telling me about the Harleys that they had WAY back in thier day, like in the '30s&'40s. ..............I've had that happen to me many, many times over the years.

 

Sounds like you found a great bike. Enjoy!

 

i came from the world of honda as well, begining of sept i pulled the trigger on the 09 ultra and said goodbye to my faithful steed of 6 years-

 

Harley,s have soul

 

There's only one true motorcycle, Harley Davidson!!!! The rest are just motor bikes.

 

You came from honda, that explains the fixed fairing fetish..... LOL
