The local dealership got their demo rune back from the painters. (nice flame job) So I got to ride more than two miles this time.
Love the power :lol: :lol:
Cruised by the harley shop, love the looks :shock: :shock:
and paid attention to the ergonomics this time
(didn't really pay attention when I bought the harley, well yea I did notice a few things but thought, its not so bad, I could get used to it, wrong, guess what bike is now for sale)
so to make a long story short (yea I know, too late) The ergonomics are not going to work for me. I found my arms almost fully extended and I was bending forward using my back. (I had surgery to fix three back problems, and count myself lucky I got to start riding again)
Now the new transalp, no problem on seating, have ridden for hours on that bike, the harley is two hours tops, and the interstate is a 700 mile a day bike.
maybe I'll look for some interesting collectalbe type honda, an old cb350/400 four, I always wanted on of those when I was a kid. Or there is an 81 CBX near me, that could be a fun bike.
ride the snot out of those runes, I'll be the guy on the valk waiving back. (when I see one, I have yet to pass a rune, and I know there are a few around)
