HD Rentals for Touring ??
Hey all,
I have rented HD's several times, mostly just to help make a buying decision.
I was wondering if anyone here decided to keep or buy a HD not really designed for long distance touring and then just "Rent" the latest and greatest touring bike from Harley to make the trip?
Reason: Love my Ultra for one or two long trips a year, but around here locally its not the most exciting bike to ride, and because of other "Hobbies"
I am a one bike guy.
Just thinkin'......maybe someone else is already doing this ??
Thanks,
Gs

Gs,
I've owned a number of motorcycles in my life and I honestly love riding my UC. The handling on it is far superior to that of my Softail and while I can understand being in RR, TX may not provide 'that' much excitement for riding, the fact that you 'do' have an UC means that if you get a whim and feel like riding NE towards Missouri or W towards TX Hill Country, you can toss some gear in the saddlebags and go.
Renting is not cheap, IMO, and therefore not an option for me; besides that, I don't think there is another Harley that I'd want to own.

Why not do the UC but put on removable trunk brackets? Most of the time, take off the trunk. It looks a lot like a SG then. I can understand what you mean though, If I had to sell one of mine, I honestly don't know which one would go first.
