It has gotten very quiet here.
I'll play along.
I rented the top of the line Harley this spring and drove it 2 up for 1500 miles. It was a Road Glide. It sucked.
Hot as hell, poor wind protection and fuck was it top heavy. Seriously, I had to work at it to get it off the side stand. In most cases I had the wife lean to help. It was a dog performance wise compared my Goldwing.
The Nav was good though, very good.
Harley is the best at selling motorcycles, not the best at making them.
I noticed the article said "lifestyle" four times but not once did it use the word reliable.
And last, I recall an Ironbutt to Mt. Rushmore a few years back. Kaws, Hondas, Yamahas and one Harley.
Only the Harley had to make a trip to the dealer on day two.
