What was he wrong about?? The OP said the guy is doing fine. Get the **** over it, already.

You are the only one tipping over in this thread about something that has nothing to do with YOU. We get it, you want a big touring bike. If you need to get a dirt bike before you step up to a bagger, we don't care.

This guy is getting along just fine.

Now shut the F up. Would ya? It’s FN over, his buddy is riding just FN fine. And they have pictures to prove they ride.

Take your non riding **** opinionated nonsense somewhere else.

As I taught in the military, stupid people have to know they’re stupid, it’s not possible to say the stupid **** or do stupid things and not learn so yea, stupid people know they are. Can’t fix it.

Did not teach to people to read, or man up.

I guess I am the only one thinks it is not the best idea to take your first bike ride on $$$ touring bike. Most people would recommend it as learner. I also said being a bigger guy should help him, and having a buddy.

The three hardest choices in life;

Wife or long term live in girlfriend

Hunting partner

Riding buddy.

Congratulations on knocking one off your list. Friendships develop and strengthen on the road together.

I'm excited for you and your buddy. Nothing brings guys more fun than a good ride together.
I would only suggest you encourage your riding brother to make the ergos so controllable and comfortable so as to ride hard and long without issue. Bad Ergos kill new riders.
Other than that life is for fun and it is hard to come by fun. So go for it!
My two cents.

He also just ordered a set of floorboard extenders. He really like the way mine felt.
