Gotta be giving you a bad time because they wish they had a Softail. I'm stopped everywhere I go and almost all the RK and SG riders tell me how great mine looks and how they wish their bikes sat as well as mine.

by riding a Softail? [>:]I love mine. All I get from my buddies is "they may be called "Softail" but they sure ride hard" (compared to what - your broom?). [sm=badbadbad.gif]
I don't know about you, but I'am comfortable. Maybe my tail isn't as sEnSiTiVe as theirs. [:@]
Anybody else catch hell like this?

Seriously though, I chose MY bike because I liked it. I don't really give a crap what others think. I'm sure a Softail isn't as comfortable as a RK but it sure is more comfortable than a rigid.

next time just say, " yeah, it rides hard, just like your wife" haha no, that might get you shot. I love the ride of my softail. Especially coming from a sporty, but after lowering it 2", its a bit stiff. Some people just get so stuck on the particular bike that they ride!

Don't care for the geezer glides. I had a old dresser and have ridden a newer King. Just can't get into them. Feels like your sitting on top of the bike instead of being part of it. If I wanted that I'd ride my old KZ 1300 and have 120 horses also. Tell your friends to try it, they may like it.

Sounds like they dont know what they are talking about.
They are just jealous of our big counterbalancers as they shake like a paint mixer at idle.

I have a RK and a Heritage. I'd say the RK has a slightly better ride. I like riding both bikes equally. I'd have no problem taking the Heritage on a long ride.
