I will say his back seat is definatly bigger. Mine...especially with the backrest is pretty cramped. I'm not petite but not huge.
I bought a cooler to fit on the back seat. It's 12x12 square...thought it would fit no problem but it pushes the backrest forward. I throw it on his and it does fit with no problem. Considering moving the tour pak back farther for the dang cooler[&:]
Hey Rose..that's why I had suggested a soft sided cooler...my wife carry's one behind her and it kinda molds to the back of the back rest without crowding it.....bC

i got it because i wanted a motorcycle that i could ride that did not spend time on a trailer or time being fixed.
Are you under the impression you will experience a higher probability of getting to your destination on a GW over an HD? How many HD's have you seen on the road, stranded and needing repair? I've ridden for decades and in the modern era ('83 and beyond) I could count on half the fingers of one hand the HD's I've seen stranded on the side of the road for reasons not related to tires or other non-reliability issues. I rode a RK 106k miles through 33 states in nine years and it never failed me once, and the the bike required very few repairs over and above maintenance, none on the drivetrain itself.
one more thing....whats the deal with wantinga Harley......the way i see it, the better a bike is it, the better chance I will get to where I am going.
You have a high probability of getting where you're going with anything these days. Other than bikes made in ex-Soviet-block countries, I can think of none that are not well-made and reliable. If you don't "want a Harley," do don't want one. It's that simple, and you probably won't ever understand the phenomenon. Suggesting that an HD is unreliable on an HD forum is rather inappropriate, especially since it isn't true.
pulled up at a restaurant, got off and walked in...sat down and somebody askes...."is that a Harley?" and Iproudly say "no."
this has happened several times because most ignorant people thinkall bikes are Harleys. That is great marketingnotgreat machine.

This is the funniest thing I have read on this forum in some time. Hey blue moon, we have landed on the moon. No kidding.I think this person has not read any discernible information since the mid 60's.[8D]
You might want to ask your wife what she thinks - mine said that if she wanted to be THAT comfortable we should take the car. She's right.She preferred the HD much to my surprise. She also said we can get a Wing when we're old ( 55 right now). I guessheart and soul means as much to her as it does to me. Also, people will walk rightpast a Wing as if it were invisible to get a look at your Hog. Pisses my Wing buddies off - makes me smile.

When I went to the Honda dealer, all he did was put down the Harley. ........Then, when I went toHD and talked to them they explained why they felt the UC was the best bike for me and its advantages of it over a GW.
Ahh, anecdotes. Ain't they great? I know that's how I make all my critical buy decisions; doesn't everyone?
