Will go to Daytona biketoberfest in oct. and take a test ride, Im expecting long lines to ride the new 14s.

I live in JAX and the local HD dealer here has always let me test ride a bike. They also let my wife when she bought hers. All they do is make a copy of your DL, Ins card and make sure you have a MC endorsement on your DL... oh, they also make you wear a helmet and follow you on another bike.

Now the local Honda dealer... no, they never have and that's why they will never get any of my business, not buying without riding 1st.

It was the best HD experience I had ever had.
