As I have said a few times over the last few pages, I want to demo a Low Rider S 117 and ST. Saw a Demo Day event at a local dealer in my area. Went there only to find a regular Low Rider. Was not a factory truck event but something the dealer put together. No 117 S or ST. So to make the best of it, I rode this 114 LR. Very nice bike. 114 is noticeably more powerful than my Stage 1 103 TC.

i did last year but honestly didn’t like it as much as my LR. I think it’s a great bike but the ergonomics just felt wrong for me. I think a lot had to do with that seat on there. I’m a big dude and that solo seat just felt a bit small IIRC. I absolutely loved the heritage though. That bike just fit me perfect, my wife didn’t like it so it’s a no go. If she decided she didn’t want to ride anymore that would be my next bike.

I'm not in the market, so really haven't been interested in test riding. REALLY like not having any payments anymore...all my toys are paid for!

Finally got around to fixing my broken turn signal stalk and got out for a few hours today. Perfect weather, sunny and 75. Took a ride down around the lake, it was a great day!

I know what you mean. My bike has been paid off since 2016. Not having any kind of payments is nice.

Been able to start riding to work again. Two days last week. Two days this week. With what gas is running, I want to ride as much as I can to both get plenty of miles in and save on gas.

I rode about 120 miles on Sunday...sure like to ride when I can. Premium is up to $4.56 a gallon here, but I get anywhere form 42-46 MPG, depending on whether I hotdog it or not...

Last two times I got premium in my area it was $5.70 and $5.77 a gallon. Wish I could get it for what you are paying.

When I filled the bike the other day I think I paid 5.29 for premium. For some reason premium used to only be a 20 cent cost above regular and now its more like .75-.85 cents more than regular. People at work ask me why I don't ride the bike more to save on fuel since I have such a long commute but really the numbers don't work out in my favor. Fuel is more expensive, the MPG isn't that much better than my beater honda civic, and the tires/maintenance costs are way more, mile for mile. Plus I don't want to rack up too many miles on the bike, I drive about 2k miles a month for work.
