I like sitting in the bike not on top of it, not really into touring, loved this bike since they came out with the night train. While I might own a SG one day this is my favorite!

Street Bob because it fit my body and my style of riding. Have no desire to ride across country again on a bike. Easy to play with in a congested NY area. Love the looks of Dynas.

Have owned and ridden most every model Harley ever built over the years,finally ending up with Road King mainly because of after market engines now big enough to satisfy that need for speed.The other part is because this bike can fill so many rolls,a great powerful sleeper/cruiser,a serious hot rod (with bags and shield off) and a few more reasons.

Love my Sportster! Bullet proof EVO engine. I got it as with arthritis in the back, and various other things, I wasn't going anywhere on my 2007 Ultra Glide Classic (touring days are over). I now ride it to work and to zip around..."zip" being the key word. Having fun again riding.
