I've used HOG ride and fly in Vegas and Seattle. Best bang for your buck, both dealers more than cooperative supplying helments and rain gear (Seattle). Very reasonable using ride N fly, two day min rental but cheaper than not using ride n fly. You can put the deposit on a credit card and never have it post. Plus in Vegas there is a free schuttle that runs from most of the big hotels to the dealer.

Just a shout to Las Vegas HD...truly a pleasure to work with and they took care of me very well....no hassle, no hangups, no added expenses..just great service. Didn't matter who you asked in there whether a tech, a parts guy or a clothing rep they all were very helpful in suggesting all the different rides one could take. I'd have no problem renting from them again on a future trip

Damn, just did a build on an SG and liking it, was thinking of an Ultra but not too seriously considering what I could do option-wise with the SG. Now you have me thinking.....

Go on th HD website and under the area where you can "Try a new HD" it will mention some options like a test ride, those days when the trailers come around with all the bikes to like the rally's, and renting, and I believe you can request a catalog and they will send you a $200 coupon for a rental.
I used that when I went to Myrtle Beach on vacation this year. I owned a Honda Shadow and always wanted to own a Harley. I was real serious about the FatBoy, but they didn't have one available for those days (someone already had it), so I took a Street Glide, I thought I wasn't really going to dig the fairing, I mean what am I, an old man? (I'm 26) Well long story short, that was August and by September I owned a used Street Glide. Best part was that the rental rate was $129 a day. I took the full insurance too at $45 a day. They should have charged my $90 for the insurance plus the balance over $200 on the bike...they didn't, I got the bike for 2 days for $90. That's probably because when I got back to the dealership, I sat there for about 2 hours while seriously looking into a bike purchase, so they probably thought it would sway my decision.
