I used to live in NYC, but never rode there, and wouldn't want to. I don't like riding in cities at all. 50% of all motorcycle wrecks are at intersections, and I've already had two. I much prefer riding in the mountains of North Georgia, E, Tennessee, and Western North Carolina...

I have never been to NYC but I understand the idea of wanting to leave NYC.

Anyone know if the new LR ST has been delivered to any dealers yet? I swear I spotted one turning around in my work parking lot the other day. It was for sure a newer LRS and it had a fairing and bags I just caught a quick glimpse of it before a car blocked my view and he was gone. I have a harley dealer across the street so I see them out test riding new bikes pretty often I guess as part of the PDI. Could have also been a LRS someone had modified

I hope to demo one in May when the HD truck comes to my area. All the reviews I have read said the new Softail bikes out handle the Dynas. I rode a 2018 Fat Bob at the last Demo Day I hit in 2018. It was nice. 114 motor. Handled well.

An after market exhaust system and good tune would do wonders for that bike...

Have not seen up close yet. Hoping one is on the HD truck when Demo Day events come to my part of IL.

Agreed. Would love to see the numbers on that 117 after a full Stage 1.
