Default Wide Glide

if im not mistaken this is the original chopper style cruiser. I'm sure the Honda Fury, Yamaha Stryker etc are good bikes, the the WG is the one that started the whole craze. Thats when people comment on the expense of Harleys i remind them you should expect to pay more for the original than a reproduction. I love the factory paint job on the WG, i do like flames.
One question i have is has anyone ridden one on a long ride? I met a guy who rode one from Oregon to Utah and said he didn't have a problem with comfort, but i imagine its no tourer.

You can tour on any Dyna. Think about it... seat, handlebars, luggage, foot pegs,... they're customizable on any bike.
