my mom rides a road king classic. grandpa rides a road king. i like the road king, road glide, electra glide and other tourers but i just dont need a bike that big. i dont have much time for touring the country and even if i did i dont carry passengers very often. my girlfriend has her own bike, she dont ride on the back of mine all the time. so im leaning towards the night rod. i like the look and the powerful engine. i love the screamin eagle vrod but dont know if id trust myself with it. from sittin on the bikes the night rod feels more comfortable than the street bob. i dont care about that old school stuff anyway. im only 20, dont even remeber the old school. so ill probably get the night rod.
