Believe me I know the danger of the demo ride as that is what led to me getting my 2015 LR.

I had been hoping to hit a demo event already but weather and other things kept from getting to one. I planned on hitting one this weekend as weather was on my side but then on Wed I could not move my left arm. Saw doctor Thurs and set for an MRI on 6-1. Thinks I have a disc issue. I am currently unable to operate a motorcycle. Hoping that changes soon but so far, I have been out of action for 4 days. I had also planned to ride Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sun but not now. All I can do is look at my LR for now.

I demoed a 2016 FXDL at the dealership in San Jose yesterday. I was impressed with the handling & just the way it rode in general. If I needed another motorcycle the Low Rider would be high on the list. I totally get why you guys love these bikes.

The LR and LR S are two of the best motorcycles on the planet in my opinion. The combination of features, build quality, handling and comfort make for one hell of a nice bike. I have not been this excited about a bike since my 1991 CBR 600 F2. I am always wanting to ride my LR.

Finally got out for a very short ride. Was able to do 6 miles before I needed to return home. Whatever is going on with my left arm I need to get it fixed ASAP.

Thanks. First time I have ever been unable to ride. Of course this all happens when there is 5-6 straight days of good weather in the 70s. Will have to wait to demo a LR S sometime later in the year.
