Well, the fun has started. In the midst of working on my bike (seems like non stop this summer) I have begun looking for that all new ride.

1st stop, Harley Stealership - Of course checked out the Wide Glides, they were seriously pushing new V-rods, and I even saddled up on a Electra Glide. Still like the wide glide, but I have issues with that (see the harley forums for my questions about glides)

2nd stop, Honda dealership - Lemme tell ya, Honda making some bike for the buck there. The VTX Retro 1800 blew me away, some sleek styling...definitely a nice bike. Then I got to sit up a 2002 Valkyrie...wow what a machine.

Well, in the coming weeks I'll be sitting on and hopefully test riding some more bikes....so I'll keep you all posted on what comes out of this.

Peace and chicken grease.

 

Stealership? I know that's not a typo! I don't know about that V-Rod. I think sales of that have dropped. It's more of a specialty bike than anything. I think they should have made a nice wide tire performance bike. Take a softail, but a 250 on the back, and put one of those motors in it. Appeal to a more vast croud I would think. I like the wide glide. Nice bikes! Another one I like is the Road King. I've heard those Valkyrie's are nice. I don't know if I could go outside the HD box now that I am there. Personal preferance I know, but there is no other ride for me.

I hope your search finds you the bike of your dreams, and she's with you for many years to come.

Peace and Chicken Grease? Man, I learn something from you fellas every day!

Ride Safe
