Default rented a fugly

Well fellas, just got back from our weekend fugly rental. We put about 1000 miles on over 3 days, ended up in the northwoods of Wis. This is hard to say, but, you guys were right, the fugly was a total pile. they must program siberian goat music on all fuglies. I couldn't reach the damn radio so I was stuck with that for 3 days, it does grow on you. I drove off the road 3 times,, turn the bars and the light doesn't follow, I couldn't see crap. The dash is so far away I felt like I was in the back seat. Any time I saw other bikers they would yell,, " that thing is f..king ugly. I start theropy today, after I see if Kutters can find a red fugly for me. The street glide is on the way out.

OK, perhaps I am to simple to follow your humor. You DID like Road Glide?

I had the same issue reading the post, and I reread it... Didn't comment because I assumed I was missing something. Glad to see it's not just me.

Fugly will probably be my next bike as well.
BTW, great post!

It's not just you. The post is a cluster f*ck of confusion and makes ZERO sense. If he was trying to be funny, he failed miserably.

If it was related to another post, why not either continue that thread or at least provide a link to it?? I still call it a complete FAIL and waste of time.

I think it is safe to assume he liked the bike. Despite it's flaws......

I'm the same way with my FLHP. Most people think it's the ugliest thing they have ever seen. But for me, it's perfect.

Great Post! I didn't need to read a previous post to see the humor in it. I keep hearing great things about the Road Glides. My dad has a 2012 Street Glide (black of course) and I took it for a ride and was disappointed in the ride. It is probly mostly due to the fact that the Street Glide would need to be set up differently (bars, seat, etc), but felt cramped on it. I like the looks of the Road Glides and I keep hearing on how great they ride. Thanks for the post and don't worry about these guys that can't follow.
