Never had the chance. Rode behind on a couple of trips. Never felt comfortable.

Want one bad, real bad but just am not going to do it. Hell, people pull out right in front of me in a damn pickup truck and can't see me so I am not going to get on a bike anymore.

I will settle for cruising around on either my 4 wheeler or the side by side I guess........hell of a lot safer than on the road with the morons on it today


High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

I used to.

2001 Yamaha Virago 250 (my starter/learner bike)

Sold the Street Glide to make a down payment on our small piece of Texas. I like being a landowner better.

Not worth the risk anymore. Too many stupid azz drivers out there with all their distractions , cell phones . GPS, etc. Bikers are organ donors these days.

I've ridden Harley's for 30 years. Sold my 2014 Street Glide in 2018. Too many close calls with distracted drivers in the metro mess. No regrets, do not miss it. If I were to ever buy a new bike I would be taking a hard look at the offerings from Indian. Harley Davidson has some serious financial issues and may not be around in 5 years.

Back many moons ago, Bought a new (1976) Super Glide FX ($3,600) and kept it 4 years. Had 1250 miles on it when I sold it. Working 7 days a week back in my old oilfield days there was no time to ride. Sold it and made $1000 over what I paid for it. That Shovelhead shook like a meth head zipped to the max.

Dirt bikes were my thing in my younger days, never really got into street or road bikes. When I hit 40 I went on a short road trip with a couple of friends and was loaned a 883 Sportster (Not sure that's the proper name) looking bike. I think they called it a Poker Run (We'd get a card at each stop) and it was 200 plus mile loop up to Post and back. The 883 was one of the smaller if not smallest road bike they made at the time and since I'm not a big biker guy it fit me rather well. By the time we completed the run my arms were damn near numb from the vibration. My bike was like a stripped down version and I'm sure the bigger bikes were a lot smoother riding. I came real close to buying that bike and kind of wish I had now. For short trips or running around in the county it would have been fine. I guess that's another one of those regret's I'll just have to take to the grave.


Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

Every chance I get. Have 3 of them depending on where and when I’m riding. Street glide is my go to scooter. Heading to Mena, Arkansas next week. Do what makes you happy, you have an itch, scratch the damn thing.

Some don't. My StepDad long gone, rode a full dresser until he was 80. Quit when He couldn't pick it up after dropping it.

I really like the looks of the 2021 lowrider S.

I put 3500 miles on mine in one year. Here’s my one surviving picture from the divorce.
