Meet my wheels - HD Electra Glide Classic...



Guess what - BMW gloves worked just fine on HD


I tried really hard to smile...


Weight 400kg....top speed just over 160km/h.
What was I thinking....

Can't imagine you on that mothership

Could be a fun ride. Just don't forget what bike you are on when you hit a twisty road.

What happened to the GSA that you were going to purchase? HD's are great, I love them, but completely different ballpark. Only as a second or third bike maybe for me.

It looks great by the way!

I could see myself covering HUGE distances on bike like this....1000km per day easily. Seat is fantastic. Wind protection is okay (screen is not that high). Twisties are not a problem - I scraped something on the left (maybe side stand) few times and I could crank it more. As front tyre starts to complain about the grip, bars start to shake so it is relatively easy to ride it on the limit (as top speed is not that high). In the city it is difficult to filter and on open road sometimes I had to slow down behind truck to overtake safely. Making U turns is not easy, same goes in parking lots, although seat is low, it is very heavy bike and takes a lot of energy out of rider. Engine and fueling was great ! Very precise and smooth. Loved the sound too - kept on playing with throttle. Got soooo many thumbs up. People like them. And it has presence - lots of it. You have arrived with one of these bikes.
Not my cup of tea but it wasn't too bad, the ride. Money no object, I would have one in the garage.

Hi Omer...I am waiting to hear news about new GS (water cooled)...if that is not happening soon it will be GSA for me this year. Going to keep K12S.

Do you still have the MS1200? Or that went by the by a while back?

You could try a Buell - loads of character, and loads of fun. Just don't plan on getting somewhere reliably if you tweak it...

After K1200 or K1300 ?, I don't think so... change roadrunners by turtles

Ah, but for wheelies and silly amounts of lean angle!....

Saying that, I'd only ever own one again if I had a large garage, and a few other main bikes...
