It is a disease. And they are purposely infecting us. I am sure you saw a few of my recent threads. Even though my infection started outide of the forum. They just made it worse.

Sounds like Road Glide fever is spreading.

I fell victim to this forum and the "Roadie Pushers" Bought mine and all it did was sit in my basement and holler "Look how ugly I am" LOL, Then Captain Street Glide came to the rescue! Better think long and sure before swapping. Been riding over 35 years, RG handles good, but not near as nimble as my batwing bikes in the twisties, they are more stable at very high speeds 95 and over. For how and where I ride, SG does it better. You know the history of the roadglide look don't you??? Made to compete with the goldwing look.

To each their own, they are all good, if you want to be different, Roadglide is a good start since you dont see as many on the road... Why do you figure that is being all the years they have been sold??? Best kept secret or ........

well..... since I've only got 32/33 years, I rekon I aughta just sit back and try to learn something...

Perhaps I should go buy (another) batwing bike. It's possible that all the pre-crack drugs impacted my ability recall correctly...???...

or.... better yet, I'll just live in my hallucenation!
