Seems like the Road glides get a bad rep., why is that?? Seems to me that they are just about the most stable on the highway with the fixed front. Some of the best looking, heavily modded Harleys I have seen have been Road glides.

You must understand that people who were not wise enough to purchase a Road Glide live their life jealous of us who make the right decision.

We are the Redheaded Stepchild of the Harley family. But, like the Marines we are "the Few, the Proud, the Best."

Well, to each their own I know. But seriously, guys around here in Ga. seem to really dislike them for some odd reason. Thats okay though, by the end of next week they will only be seeing the *** end of mine!
