this is the classic

Old bull, Young Bull story.

Its a free world, ride like you want as long as you do not endanger others

 

Sounds like someone plans on driving up and down Hwy 130 (speed limit is 85mph - Austin, TX)

If my plan was to ride freeways in excess of 80mph all day or 90% of the time. I would take a serious look at a Goldwing. They handle much better than HD at high speeds.

My neighbor has a new GW and trade rides sometimes on our trips. We both agree that my EG has way more character. The GW does handle better and it likes to go fast. It really does smooth-out at 90+.

He calls my bike - the tractor. I tell him that his bike is like riding a big girl. Even though she can rock your socks off. You're still embarrassed to show her off to your friends.

 

WOW - $6.14 for 40 mile toll road.. Went to high school in Austin back in the 60's when Austin was a much better place to live.. Today,, just too Big and crowed... was just back there for a 45 school party and the Locals HATE the toll roads with a passion

 

^^^^^^That's exactly right.

If I wasn't an old bull I would buy an R1. They're cheap, 150hp, half the weight and flickable.

 

Well forget the faring there is the ROAD KING .

Way less buffeting than a batwing ,especially with the fork mounted wind deflectors .

REALLY SMOOTHS OUT NICE AND STABLE AROUND 85 MPH .

 

No fairing at 90+ No thanks.

 

How weird, most of these posts are just off! I ride 90+ and can do so for many hours. My bike becomes smooth as glass at 85+ and just awesome at 90+.

Gold wings suck wind really bad at 90+ miles per hour. Been there, done that!!!

Road kings windshield is more like a battle shield trying to push it against the wind.

Have no experience with Road Glide, a lot of people swear by them, but I love my Electra Glide thank you very much.

 

+1 I use a 5 snap face shield on my helmet so no need for a windshield on the bike.

 

90+ all day on the freeway, what the hell is the hurry? You are still gonna get there goin 75-80 and it keeps money in your wallet. You are the guy I wanna follow, go get my ticket, lmao..
