RG's are to Harleys, like the chinese crested is to dogs.

 

dang man...you guys don't like Yellow?????????????

 

Hey, I Resemble That Remark!!!

 

Haha Your bike aint all that!!! I bought mine for rackin' up the miles! You batwing bikenight posers can slam all you want on the RG, Goldwing, jap bike whatever! It's still a Harley! And it's sweeeeeet!

 

The 1st "Bagger" I ever rode was a Tour Glide (an old one. An 89). This was in the mid 90's. While not my cup of tea (at the time) I was totally impressed. I wasn't doing any distance riding then. Just bar hopping on my Shovel. But the handling, the brakes (THE STEREO !!!) Only negative was (& still is) I didn't like the lowers. My legs were cookin.

I don't think RG's look jap coming towards me. You can tell what it is just by the riders stance behind the fairing.

I know here in San Jose, they sell EVERY Roadglide they get. I can't believe they'll discontinue it.

 

5 speed Suicide---> nice bike! can you post a few more pics? What seat and windshield is that... looks soooo nice. PICS!!!

 

First Tour Glide was in 80 , discontinued in 98 for some stoopid reason and resurrected ( a poor resurrection I might add ) as the Road Glide ..

I had an 84 TG that I bought new and put 220,000 on in 4 and a half years , traded that on an 88 TG that I put 342,000 on up till last July when I got the Roadie ..

That 84 with springs on the rear , air in the front , and enclosed chain was the best riding of the three hands down ..

Ugliest Harley ever built ?? Nah hadda be the XLCR ..

 

OK, OK, I repent - I didn't mean to slam the StreetGlide; it was a weak moment. But I had just finished reading a post a couple of clicks up about a test ride someone made on the Triumph Rocket and it got very favorable reviews. Then a slamfest about the Road Glide? People get real - at least it's a Harley!

I really enjoy my Road Glide - most satisfactory touring bike I have owned. But I really enjoyed my Road King as well. In fact, I have enjoyed every bike that I have ever owned - Hondas, BMWs, Yamahas, BSA, etc. It would have seemed silly to have purchased them if I didn't enjoy them. But my Harleys have been the most satisfying and enjoyable of all the bikes; that's why I own them.

On the fourth day of a week long tour, the Road Glide just seems to fit. It's comfortable, large, and the fairing makes back-to-back 500 mile days more than tolerable. And the rumble of that huge V-twin between my legs is far more satisfying than some inline six or four cylinder sewing machine.
