Jon, impressive, I like the look of all Harleys, they sound superb but and there is always a but with Harleys, too much chrone to keep the rust bug away and I have yet to ride one that is comfortable at our national motorway speed limit. The Road King I last rode shook and vibes very badly at 60 and at 70 my teeth fillings were shaken loose, Then I rode a softtail, same problem but at 55 both were superb comfortable rides.
I am and advanced rider trainer in my spare time and the last guy I trained had a Harley and he had great difficulty cornering on out small radius bends but on long sweeping bends all was ok, I am a twisties fan (a flowing road with bend after bend after bend for you guys who are missing out not being on two wheels). In Germany a group of us were led by the hotel owner on a route that had 32 hairpin bends and 100mph straights, pure joy. On that same holiday our group got mixed up with a group of Harleys and the twenty bikes riding through a 1/2 mile long tunnel sounded glorious, forget your V8s a group of Harleys has any muscle car beat hands down
Vancouver to Sturgis, seriously impressed by both that you rode between the two but also that you started in Vancouver which is one of my favourite cities.
Kevin cheers for the comment, its about time you gave us an update on your motor.
Alas Craig it is not just for ride outs it is also a working bike and hence carrying gear is essential but a black Renntec tail rack will not be too obtrusive. Now on some models the lights are not effective at night so I will have to wait and see, no not see if that is the case. It has been an expensive year as I also changed my car to an Audi Q3,
