Rent one and you may be as surprised as I was. My streetglide has floorboards and my feet are where they would be while sitting in a chair at home. The handlebars are stock and do not feel that different from my old FJR. All their models fit differently so try sitting on a few in the showroom.

Why I test rode and purchased my Harley. I have ridden UJM bikes for the past 45 years. I always said Harleys were over priced, ill handling, oil leaking, pieces of sh**. I moved to east Tennessee in 2015. After riding around here for a year or so on my FJR (137,000 miles) or Vstrom (45,000...

Peterson's H=D in Miami. Just remember that A1A thru the Keys is a straight boring road. No really good rides in South Florida. Yes, I lived there for 15 years before moving to East Tennessee.

Garmin believes in planned obsolescence, They stopped supporting models as soon as a new model comes out. I have a Zumo 390LM. Shortly after the new models came out, the screen would lock up. I called Garmin to get an RA to send it back to get fixed. I was informed that it is no longer supported...

The miles are doing it. I had my 06 with 137,000 miles at 3,000 and only got one call. They asked about the milage and I said it was correct. They promptly hung up. Even though we all know these bikes are good for well over 200,000 miles, finding someone to buy one with "high" milage is damn...

I rode to Alaska a couple times and criss crossed in and out of Canada many times. Here are some answers that WILL get you searched. Do you have any weapons? NO. Good answer. Do you have any ammunition? If I do not have weapons, why would I have ammo. Bad answer. How do you expect to defend...

I have the Antigravity unit that came with adapters for every notebook and cell phone known to man. I used it extensively on a camping trip to Alaska which took ten weeks and 20,000 miles. I used it frequently to charge my cell and once to start a motorhome who left his lights on all night, easy...

Probably a Japanese bike. Most Harleys do not do 151 mph.

We just returned. Left Tenn on June 7th and returned a week and a half ago. Second trip for myself and first for my wife. Plan on taking heated gear if you leave that early. Days were in the 70's and nights into the low 50's and upper 40's. Bring long johns if you camp. We used them for the...

Feeling we all had at one time or another.

I never understood that. You try and whip up on a car and all the car has to do is turn slightly and you are done. My guess is for cosmetic purposes. Make people "think" you are some kind of badass.

Not as conservative as you might expect. The leader goes the speed limit or a couple above but they do not slow down for the curves. Almost all the H-D riders that show up have decent amount of miles on their bikes and they ride them instead of just going bar hopping. You might just be surprised...

Check out Smoky Mountain H-D in Maryville. They have a ride each Tuesday called Project Ridemore. Any type of bike is welcome and it is a group ride which usually consists of 300-350 miles of backroads and history from the ride leader. I have ridden my FJR with them on many occasions as well as...

That would work quite well. Although after leaving Cumberland Gap I would ride thru Harrogate and turn left on 63. That is a fun road with a ton of switchbacks and sweepers.

The dragon will be closed for road repair intermittently for 30 minutes at a time from April 19th thru April 29th. They will stop traffic and work for 30 minutes then reopen it for 30 minutes and then repeat during normal work hours. If you are planning a trip to here, you might want to just...

I read in the Kawasaki Concours manual that you should not use their key fob within 9 feet of a pacemaker. But you own an FJR so it should not matter. Just be a bit selective in choosing your riding buddies.

Nice to see you again, Powerman. Beware of meds and scotch, check your slush fund and get back to me. BTW, I have stock pipes and they shall remain that way for some time.

Powerman, I am riding down on Wednesday, staying at Pooles and heading back home on Sunday. Hopefully we can meet up.

I have 3 bikes in my garage (besides my wifes bikes), A 2012 Vstrom 650 I rode from Ft Lauderdale to Prudoe Bay Alaska, my 2006 FJR with 136,000 miles requiring just routine maintenance, and last June 30th I bought a 2016 H-D Street Glide Special. The SGS now has 29,400 miles on her. I live 40...

One of the requirements is an "Official Police Report". I would think that if there is an official report that the DMV already knows about the accident. The rest obviously depends on your insurance company, policy, and past driving record.
