Excellent article, I love mine, it's a great bike.
I do have to agree about the turn signal switchthough, I don't like using my throttle hand to operate the signal switch, I would rather have a switch thatoperatesboth left and right signals on the left handlebar.

Nice article. I wasn't really sure why he was not enthusiastic about the test ride until after he rode it.

I'm sure he had a bias against HD, probably from the AMF days. Guess it shows that a bad reputation takes a long time, if ever,to wear off. In the end, though, he was sold on it and proclaimed it publicly; that's a good thing.
