Simply put and in all honesty, the bottom line! DON'T LET YOUR LITTLE HEAD SPEAK FOR THE BIG HEAD. We all tend to get caught up the macho ego life of HD. I rented a Street Glide over Thanksgiving in Beamont, TX and took a ride to Galveston Beach with my Step Son on his Night Train, nice bike but the vibration wore me out after only a few hour ride. Liked the bike but then reality and logic set in and for long distance rides I'd never go back to HD. Before I'd buy a new Street Glide I'd take a very hard look at the new Stratoliner Deluxe because when I look in a mirror I want to see what I need to see, not a blurr.
