Default Test rode a Road Glide, and an Ultra...

at the CA "bike week" today. Wow. Love that radio and it was nice to have a fairing. I found the ultra to be more light steering although the road glide's fairing is mounted to the frame. Hmmmm....Doesn't seem to make sense. Oh well. Also test rode a Boss Hoss V8. Wow! That power was INSANE. I didn't even come close to getting on it real hard, but that baby has some pick up. IT is automatic as well. Really a trip to ride.

You're too young to enjoy the luxury of a GeezerGlide! Stick to your FatBoy for now.

I don't think age matters about where you find your comfort zone.

Wow, you rode a Boss Hoss. I looked at them in Myrtle Beach S.C.. I can only imagin the power. I heard the weight is not a problem.

I checked out the boss hoss link. 355 hp with an 8.5 gal gas tank. A freaking monster.It's my old 69 Z28 on 2 wheels. What a head turner one of those would be. But I'm sure they're way outta my price range. I can only afford one of those cheap harleys.

No, they have helmets for you to wear. You can leave yours on your bike if you like...
