I voted no because at the time i didnt have a license or my permit i just walked in and was debating between the street glide or the street bob...the street bob was 100 bux cheaper a month so thats what i got....

 

I was able to test ride in Santa Cruz I rode the bike that I bought. The salesman that went with rode a Fatboy and half way into the ride offered to switch bikes, The Fatty was out of my price range and I have ridden a buddies softail so I new what that was like. I always liked the FX style so thats what I got. Santa Cruz Harley was a great place to buy a bike to bad they shutdown.

 

I don't remember ever test driving a bike before I bought it.

Now, what was I thinking about before I responded to this thread? Damn, I forgot!

 

No test ride for me either...I asked, but was told no test rides allowed on their new bikes, although it did have 12 mi. on the odometer. I handed over the keys and the title for my '04 Kawi Z1000, signed the paperwork and I couldn't be happier.

 

Nope...just saw the street bob and said thats the one!

 

i test rode both my bikes, my current 1200C and the SB i'm picking up this weekend, at the HD open house in York, PA. no dealers offer test drives around here that i know of.

 

I took my Bob out for about a 20 mile test ride before signing the paperwork.

 

Nope, had a Road King before and knew my next bike would be another Harley. I didn't want a bagger and had no intentions to own a sloptail so I had no other option. Saying it that way makes it sound like I settled. Truth is when I bought my Road King I settled. I wanted a Dyna then but was nudged to the bagger by my wife and here geezer glide co-workers. Man I love my sled.

 

I rode all the Dynas and a few Softails. I really wanted a StreetBob. Glad I rode one, cause I hated it right away. Fell in love with the FatBob, and after a few test rides, I finally found one available in my color choice. Love the FatBob. Glad I didn't buy a SB.

 

I didn't ride the actual bike but the same model. It took me time just to find it no one had the color. It dosn't matter though the bike I have never ran stock out the door anyway.
