Default Fuglys On The Rise?

So I finished my annual longish ride, and I was reflecting on the bikes I saw.

I have to say I saw significantly more Fuglys this year than ever before ... I dare say more than any other bike!

There were a few BMWs here and there (they were king last year), a smattering of generic metrics, and various faired Harley's. But every group had multiple RGs... It's like they were in charge.

What is up Harley riders??

I put 10" bars on my 14TK and I wouldn't even trade it for even up on a 17 RGU.

RGs are getting more popular around here too, but Bat Wings still outnumber them by a long shot.

EVERYBODY has been jumping into the Ever Growing TANK!

Funny thing to me is, MOST of the them were the ones who would never be seen on Road Glide! Lol.

Never say never.

At one time you could count the number of members on this forum with Road Glides.

The secret is out!

Same around my area, however, the ones who have new RGs absolutely love them and would have nothing else. I personally love the look of both, but stay with the bat wing because at my age having the instruments and infotainment closer is a major plus.

for 'longish' rides, road glides can't be beat. lots of people are learning that these days.
