The dark side according to Websters is spelled "ricer" or "cage"

It's only been a week and 550 miles, but I'm already glad I made the switch. I just can't get over how much better the Limited handles over the Dyna. And yea! After a week, it seems like I left the "Dark Side" and entered the "Awesome Side"!

Congrats on the new ride. I moved from a 2001 fatboy to a 2012 Street Glide and was also surprised how much better the touring bike handles.

BTW, I would NEVER, NEVER, NEVER put a car tire on my bike. I'll never cross over to THAT Dark side. Sorry for the poor choice of words on the Title of the post.
