Default From the other side?

All right folks here it goes be gentle on me.I own a 2011 Wide Glide that I totaled two weeks ago.So now I'm the market for another scoot,as much as I loved my Dyan Wide Glide the new Black Line has caught my eye I find myself going back to the HD site and bringing up pics of the Black Line scoot.Iloved the wide glide everything about it but I have zero knowledge of the soft tails
the last one I rode was a soft tail custom in 91 please en lighten me and tell me your thoughts especially if you came off of a Dyna to a soft tail thanks in advance.

Once again, the Softail is far superior to the Dyna in comfort and handling. I have owned two Softails and one Dyna. To this day I still can't figure out what I was thinking buying a Dyna.

Have owned two dyna's and two softails. Softails are just plain superior in every way. Forgot how much nicer softails were until I traded in my last dyna. Take a test drive and see for yourself.

The swingarm on the softail looks so much better than the one on the dyna just for starters.
