Default Crotch rocket guy here

New guy here from NC. Ride a hayabusa. been riding busas, and other street bikes since i was 17. I'm 25 now. Thinking about going to the HD side since everyone i ride with is on harleys. I dont know anything about harleys other then i like the way street glides look. hope to learn more as i keep reading.

also renting a street glide from las vegas in a few weeks and going on a 1500 mile ride to PCH, DV, etc etc. If i like the SG, may end up getting one. (hate to trade the ole busa in though).

Welcome from Calgary. I always wanted to go for a scoot on a Hyabusa.

Great ideal to rent before you buy. You may decide to keep both as they provide 2 different types of rides for the rider. Good luck and enjoy!
