Just completed 1735 klm's in just under 20 hrs on the new rig (Road Glide), local HD chapter (Saddlesore challange)! Ripley, Goondiwindi, Narrabri, Singelton, Port Macquarie, Ballina and Home! 8 hours in the dark, 5 Hrs in the pouring rain! 9 cans to clean the rig...lol! Notice the difference? Have to say, toughest ride to date! Try to pass truck in the rain...give me a cattle truck out west anyday!! Epic run, would I do It again??? NO f**KIN WAY!
Cheers PB, was invited to your Island based on this pic (800) klms on the Breakout (Canberra trip a few years ago) ! Appreciate your comments re the seat, had no issues thus far, if any thing relocating the boards more forward! I'm 6"2, it a bit of an issue on the legs! As for the seat, going the CVO knock off and having it re padded, should come out just short of a Saddlemen!Enjoy the ride north, and what may I ask is your steed??
Good stuff Stevo.....if you want to swap fashion for function take off that piece of crap std seat and sub it out for a ultra seat. Have done back to back 1000klm days two up on my Street Glide with that ultra seat. They look like a fat girls arse but you will love it. July we are doing Sunshine Coast to Airlie Beach (1010klm) then Airlie to Cairns (620klm) wish i was doing it on my Street Glide.
And what pray tell is wrong with a fat girls arse?
As Queen said..."Fat-bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round"....rock on!
Softtails didn’t even have suspension until the 2000’s did they?
