Not going to knock the old belt eating sloptail of yours that makes my *** sore just thinking about riding it, but Im just going to have to learn ya to love that ole rubber mounted sissy/geezer rides....
Just start saving up your "lessons" for next year. Probably be letting a barge find its way up the drive then. Mebbe I can take all the padding off the seat and keep some level of self respect!

My dealer can't give 'em away. I rode many bikes @ demo days this summer and I gotta say the Blackline is the most uncomfortable bike I have ever ridden.

I found it very comfy... I think the reason they can't unload 'em is everything is minimal, but the price.

I think they mised the mark, price wise.

Again, I like it.

I like the Blackline. I had a chance to ride it at a recent Harley Demo Days in SoCal, and it was good. For me, it I could afford a second bike, it's a coin toss between the Wide Glide and the Blackline.

Before I traded my 2004 Night Train 14 months ago for my 2011 Street Bob I had a list of mods I wanted to do. Had I completed all of the mods, EVERYONE would have mistaken it for a Blackline. It is like the MOCO read my thoughts. The Blackline came out about a month after I got my Street Bob. Now that I have a Dyna, I will never go back. It just fits my riding style more.
