HD Motor Company A NO-SHOW At Americade
I was disappointed this morning when I showed up at Americade and learned Harley Davidson had skipped it this year. I have been making it an annual event to test ride each and every model in the HD lineup. While ALL of the other manufacturers required you to get in a conga line and play "follow the leader", Harley Davidson would scan your ID and send you off on their predetermined course on your own. I loved, loved, loved it. Thus my disappointment. Things must be pretty bad in the Ivory Tower right now. I am told they will be at Laconia, NH next week. I guess they felt Americade is a Goldwing event as others on this forum have mentioned before.
As an aside, I did ride some other fun bikes. The most fun BY FAR was the Hayabusa 1300. The brakes are as impressive as the engine.

Sorry they were not there. But as mentioned I actually thought is was all Goldwing? My bad.
I've been disappointed at the new route in Daytona or starting point anyway and all the stupid three wheeled cars running with you. It has become so crowded you cannot get a good ride for trying not to get killed.

As an aside, in 2013 i was in the market for a new bike after my Road King was totalled the previous Fall. I rode many bikes from various manufacturers before heading to the Harley test ride area. After trying out many different rides I fell for the Super Glide Custom. I took it out for three test rides. Five days later I bought one. All due to the test ride. Just saying
