Love the look of the Roadies. Nice! Absolutely beautiful bike.

Just be careful on the front brakes at low speeds. The reverse triple tree and weight bias makes using the front below 5ish mph a no-no. Especially with a passenger.

I went pretty much the same route...Sportster to Dyna to Touring, with my '15 Road Glide Special.

Yup, the way they go around curves is astonishing. You're gonna love it!

Look forward to learning from you guys as much as I did back in the Sportster and Dyna pages.

That's what most say.
