Okay who let the kid in the bar? Check his ID and kick his wet nosed *** outta here, any trouble put him over the knee and call his mom to come pick him up.

Hehe

I actually think it has more to do with us being old bastards that have made enough cash and dont have to work two or three jobs to pay for a wife, 4 kids and a house. Nothing wrong with the Dynas kid, I compare mine to a mini RKC, really like that bike.

Yes dynas handle great...until you lower the rear suspension and add forward controls (like most dyna riders do), than it handles like just another cruiser slug. Even stock street bob shock length will scrape pegs before my floorboards scrape on my RKC. For me, my RKC is about the ride. Bought it and put 2500 miles in the first week or so. Looks good stock too. My dyna wasn't comfy enough to justify it's lack of sportyness, and wasn't sporty enough to justify it's lack of comfort. I miss my dyna, but what I miss about it would be found cheaper and more abundantly in the likes of a SV650, monster, or street triple.

As far as the touring section having the most viewers...I don't really like it. You can start a thread and within an hour it will be burried 4 pages back. Someone with the answer you are looking for might login 20 minutes too late and never see your question. I'm new here though, so I might get used to it. But I really do miss the old dyna forum, lol.

it seems to be the end game for serious riders. it's where those who are riders, and aspire to someday ride the big ones come.

It does get crowded in here at times (for good reasons). The biggest number of viewers I've seen is 394 at one time. What's the highest number others have seen?

Not surprising, H-D is best known for it's big Touring models and most riders do eventually end up on one of these bikes...

Yep, I switched this year from a CVO deuce to a 09 RG. Put 4500 miles on it in 3 months. It sure is a sweet ride - better suspension, excellent handling in the twisties, the sweet sound of rock and roll coming from the stereo, and plenty of storage for extra layers, rain gear, etc. What's not to like?

If you're not riding one, you haven't test ridden one!

Lol, I do miss my dyna, but like I said the RKC is just a superiour bike, period! Funny thing is all my friends and dyna forum guys said that I was the last person they would expect to make the swap. I didn't believe in windshields, heat shields, turn signals, foam over a seat pan, etc. As far as another man trying to spank me over his knee...just remember that 26 is also old enough to own a glock. Hehe.

Because we do some serious riding, not just bar hopping, and we're the coolest

Plus, we're all on the forum at work instead of doing our jobs
