Then there's guys like me with a artificial hip....at 6'2 and 260 Im plenty big enough to wield my 900lb. motorcycle and wife around but don't like putting the stress on my ceramic hip. I don't have a reverse but would love to have one if the MOCO offered one I just hate anyone messing with my transmission and no doubt voiding the warranty.
Goin' in a few hours as a matter of fact to see the effects my new Glide has had on said hip!
BTW I agree there's as many buffoon's on bikes as in cages

i have reverse on my bike.
It's called Momma. When necessary (like trying to back uphill into a spot) she gets off the bike, grabs one of the tour pak supports and pulls. It amazing how much pull someone standing behind the bike can exert compared to the rider....

The first bike I ever rode/owned was my '01 Road King. That bike came very highly recommended by several of my Motorcycle cop friends. It's a very well balanced bike and was fairly easy to learn on. I took a motorcycle safety course as soon as I could get in (about 8 months and 5000 miles after I bought my RK) and rode a little 125cc Kawasaki. Felt like I was riding a moped. I'm glad I choose the RK to learn on.

This has nothing to with your thread unless the guy was riding in reverse!

I've had three Gold Wings and used the reverse frequently. Most of the time I tried to find a parking space that I could easily exit. Sometimes there weren't any. Reverse helped a lot in getting out of those spaces.
If there was a reverse available for my bike that was reasonably priced, I would consider adding it to the bike.

I am 5'4" and try to get my bike into a "good" parking situation but sometimes it doesn't work out and backpeddeling the RK can be a pain. Here's another thing, this lady can outride most of the guys around, but has some aides to help. It's a little hard to shift w/o a lower leg
