Other than about 5 years on an FLH back in the early 90's I've always had a smaller, and what I thought more nimble, Harley.

I went to a demo days at a local dealership and rode a Street Glide 3 times in a row as there were not many people there and I just kept signing up. I was super impressed with it. It was towards the end of the year last year and I was super busy with work so I never followed up on it. I woke up last Saturday morning and thought, "Let's go check out the 14's."
