Great News Tripper. I spent the day dodging rain on my roadglide. Had a ball. Big ride tomorrow (Sunday). Poker Run (Actually Memorial Run) in Champaign Illinois. Usually has around 200 bikes.

Have fun on your new bike. Hope the weather is good.


Terry

Weather was just great. I picked her up at about 11:00am leaving the Dyna behind. I ran a 10 mile no traffic loop, well almost, for the first 50 miles to seat the rings and had lunch before heading out at 1:00pm on the interstate for about 10 miles then down Oak Creek Canyon, thru Cottenwood and Jerome over Mingus Mt. and home arrived at 3:30. Collected Kat and headed out for a 50 mile putt two up.

Impression: I love it, smooth, agile, and resposive.

The Stage 1 kit and Touring Mufflers make a big difference over the stocker that I rented. The touring mufflers are not real loud if you just nurse them about town but really have a nice low rumble out on the Hwy. These are much more to my liking than waking up the neighbors at 6:00am when I go to work with SE IIs.

It seems much more stable on the twisties or Interstate. I rode out to the place on the Dyna over Mingus Mt. and Oak Creek Canyon: 2:55 hours. Riding the same route in reverse on the Glide: 2:25 hours.
Mind set: "jest cruisin'" and look at the speedo to find: - Dyna: 60-65 mph - RG 70-75 mph.

Kat loves it also. We took it out after I got home for a short putt (50mi). She felt that we were one with the bike except for the slow speed maneuvers. I need to practice this together by myself and with her on board.

Main thing it is OUR Harley.

Pics to follow.
