    The HD demo fleet of 20 bikes is back in town for the Ullysis (crap spelling) National AGM and available till Friday.

    Rode the CVO Dyna and the CVO Softail Springer, both with STANGLED SE110's, two very different bikes and motors.

    The Dyna pulled like a 14 year old from 2 to 4.2 then fell down until 5 when it kicked again all the way out to the limiter. I went searching for that "legendary" Dyna handeling but that was imposible for me to find maybe because I cant reach the forward controls on current Dyna's.

    The Springer was very sutle in the way it made it's power with a very touque'y feel up to 4 then it just launched out to 6. It is the only Springer I have ever ridden and while it's still not a 'look' I want on my current centuary bike it handled about as well as the Dyna and was as comfortable as my Softail Standard. Think the steep fork angle and wider wheel has a lot to do with the handling.

    If I had to choose I'd want my Softail with a UNstrangled motor delivering it's power about half way between these two, which is not really choosing at all is it.

    If ya don wanna stand in line at the AGM get ya self to Orm Snell HD asap.
