Coming from a guy riding an old mans bike that's been blacked out. How completely original of you. Gee, it's not like you don't see 20 of those geezer gliders everyday.

Bad on you Leo, now you've caused my wife to cry! She loves her Trike. Maybe it'll be worth more money now.....NOT!

IMO the ugliest bike they made was the Rocker... I've seen a lot on the show room floor, but never on the road.

Looks interesting. Wonder why they would use a frame mounted sharknose fairing?

I never understood why the MOCO just didnt change that ugly looking seat on the Rocker and make it look like the heartland kit. It would have probably saved them a few $'s if they put a normal looking seat and fender in the beginning. But instead they had to create something out of the oridinary.

I heard their putting the RG fairing on the left over rockers. Their called "Rockie Roads" and you can plan to see them in Octorber. Fugly or not , I'm buying one.

+1 LMAO. Get teased about the looks of my RGC until the sun goes down. Then they stick me and my dual PIAA goldwing snout right up front!

I must admit, I don't think it's pretty either until I want lots of light...or storage boxes...or easy parking...or high speed stability.

Well, like james says, maybe they will bring bring back the Heritage springer.
Polly will. Read in one of the mags a year or so back that the springer was dropped for a redesign like the WG, and the economics just pushed it back.
