You have a Wide Glide so I suspect you understand this; the Wide Glide isn't easy to ride. She's a harsh mistress, that's part of her charm. She's demanding, insistent, and expects exactness when you push her. I get more satisfaction riding my Wide Glide through some of the rather twisty roads we've got around here than I ever did from my R1; when you ride a Wide Glide you'd best have your techniques wired tight. The Wide Glide's not for everybody; that's why HD makes the Low Rider...
Seriously? I go to every demo day that every dealer, HD and metric has; I ride everything I can get my hands on; I'm not an HD owner, I'm a motorcyclist that happens to like HD's. The Kawi and Honda dealer know my first name. I ride the hell out of their bikes. I've got a real love for the Ninja 1000 with panniers; I'd never sell my Wide Glide but may just add a Ninja 1000 for those high speed runs I take with the sport bike/sport touring group I ride with...

Sorry, no, I get the Wide Glide thing. I was asking the OP what he's currently riding.

Timeout.... this is forum, not personal conversation. Calm your nerves and cut the grand standing. People will talk... mistake or not ... deal with it or roll out.
play nice

Right on man, unless you are dead set on a Fat Bob (nothing wrong with that, if that's what you are into, we don't judge [humor really]). But if not, ride everything in your budget, lots of nice rides out there.
I'm also in the WG corner..damn fun bike to ride.
