Re: Harley bashing
I love workin on 'em. Problem is the darn thing won't break down so all I can do is maintenance and upgrades. Luckily my vintage machines keep me busy. Hoping to be mailing out a crank for new seals by Monday.

But more importantly....will they go around corners at pretty much the same speeds they can go down the straights ??I think some of those flat tracker style HDs look pretty good !
I've learned that "good looks" doesn't get you very far out in the twisties.

Well, the glide can't go as fast in the turns as it can in the straights, but it handles very well for a big tourer. Have done the Dragon on Cherrycola on both the glide and the FJR and the FJR was much mo' fun.
