Default test ride

Would love to test ride a 14, but here in Jax.Fl when I was looking for a new bike in 08 the only dealer who would let you test ride a new bike was Victory, not Honda, Harley, or Yamaha without signing papers first. Will go to Daytona biketoberfest in oct. and take a test ride, Im expecting long lines to ride the new 14s.

NO CLUNK? Seriously? I love that clunk too! That was the one Harley noise left. Now wait a minute here.... Are you SURE you were at the Harley dealer not the Honda dealer? They look very similar now, I'd understand the mistake...

Because I'm already on my second 13 limited in the last 2 months. If I new they were going to make these changes I would have waited 2 weeks to buy a 14. Hind sight 20-20

Seriously? That sucks. My dealer had me take out a new 35k CVO even after I made it clear I wasn't in the market for a bike that year. They insist I take any bike I want for a ride right off the showroom floor...When I was ready to buy, guess where I bought the new bike? Didn't even bother looking at another dealer.

I like many of the changes. I don;t expect to like them all but I think its a good step forward considering how we were lagging behind and Indian / Victory was starting to do the market creep on HD.

I have spent wayyyyyyy too much money making my 2011 Ultra the way i want it. Couldnt trade if I wanted to without losing my azz.
