Test ride

[sleepy2]

Went with guy from work to the Rock's Harley test ride yesturday. Don't know why people say once you ride a Harley you won't ride anything else. Was not impressed enough to buy one unless I had amnesia and won the lottery. Was gad to get back on my own bike without all the VIBRATION and hand numbing ride.

Sorry couldn't resist. You may have seen this one anyway.

I honestly don't mean to offend anyone.

Hey Phil - which bike did you take out?

 

I took out the Heritage Softail Classic. It wasn't too bad, but I couldn't get used to

 

1) the right turn signal being on the right side (kept hitting the horn );

2) the heel and toe shifter ... kept on hitting the back of my heel against the shifter.

 

I also didn't like having to look down at the tank to find my gauges and stuff.

 

Oh well ... I had really wanted to try out the Rocker (to see if it compared to the Yamaha Raider), but never even took it out. As soon as I sat on it, with my short legs, my left calf was sitting up against the primary, so I didn't think it was worth having a "hot leg" all day long.

 

Cheers,

I took out

1-Ultra Classic Electra glide(full dressed-one up from Electra glide Classic)

Found fairing was too close compared to mine

separate turn signals were a pain

heel toe shifter was too high to use and didn't look adjustable

mirrors on handle-bars were a pain too try and look out of(too close to hands and cose to elbows

no gear indicator besides Neutral

not as much protection for legs:thumbdown:

2-Fat-boy

not used to not having fairing

good power-band

heel-toe shifter not fitting to be used:thumbdown:

 

3-Road-king

TOO much vibration at idle but not bad ridding

windshield too close

heel toe same as other's

no gear indicator

 

Main opinion is not a likely buy in near future

Got back on after rides and didn't even know if it was running-----noooooo vibration and just enuff wind protection for my taste

Even tho mine has lots of fairing out front and top heaviness it is the only bike I would have for now:173::173::173:
