Default Sharing the love for this Progressive bike!

Some may not like the styling of the Road Glide but what I totally love about it is that the bike has at it's core the traditional H-D heart and soul, but with the frame mounted fairing and dual "UFO" headlights (these lights had an AMAZING high-beam illumination on the dark country roads last night!), it's got a very progressive modern look to it. Sort of a mix of a little bit of old school re-set for the future. I totally love it. Progressive looking tradition!







There were some strong winds crossing the bridge over the Columbia River yesterday and with the frame mounted fairing, my front wheel/bars didn't waver in the least. I think the frame mounted fairing is a fantastic design. The steering feel is amazingly light and nimble in all conditions. I'm really glad I went with this exact bike, this year. Somehow this bike really "glides" more than my Road King did and handles exceptionally well. The Road Glide won me over with it's "purpose built" progressive design and the beautiful sweeping lines that just flow perfectly from front to rear. This bike has solid H-D tradition designed for the future.
