Default Traded my StreetRod

Just couldn't get comfortable on it. Like others, I would get hip pain after about 30 min of riding. I happened to stop into my local dealership one day last week and a conversation with a salesman buddy turned into me trading for a very nice, barely ridden '03 Heritage Softail. The StreetRod was fun but i was missing that big twin ride. I've got an exhaust and service manual listed in the market place if anyone's looking for either. Safe riding, see yall out there.

Congrats. I have the same problem with my street. I like the bike, and I dont want forward controls. So it looks like I would be stuck with enduring the hip pain after about half an hour.

I am currently figuring out what bike I will move up to. The sportster was on my list, and I was also thinking about a BMW F700 for something different.

Good luck with the new ride!

Look at the Triumph parallel twins. Very nice motor cycles.
