....I would ride RICE before I rode an '019 Softail.
Yes; Dickey actually said it.
With the exception of the Heritage, Slim & RoadKing, the Yammie RoadStar,Valkyrie,V-Max and a couple others blow the new HDs right out of the water in the looks department.

Way to go,Mo FO co! You're officially a riceburner company now!

 

I've never been a fan of the Softail. When they ended the Dyna's, it was basically taking 1/3 of their lineup off the table for me. I like the Sportster and the Glides. Nothing in between now that appeals to me. I would also never own another HD knock off.

 

 

I am just wondering when the bagger craze loses its luster and fairings go out of style with the masses. It is inevitable IMO.

 

Anyone who uses their motorcycle to run errands, commute, or travel will want luggage. I imagine the customizers will start looking for another platform to stretch their creative legs on though. I think the big wheel bagger idea has been beat to death.

 

I'm afraid I'm with ya there. I still like the RoadKing and Heritage as well. I like some of their China cloths too !!!

 

Fairings have been beat to death as well. It's a motorcycle, not a car with two wheels.

 

I got to keep my Fairing though...I like it better than the windshield the RoadKing came with !!!

 

I will take it even farther....motocycles should have pegs...floorboards are for cars.

 

.......... when there's no wind or other elements to encounter when you actually take it outta the garage & ride it somewhere
