After going to Sturgis last week, I'm really thinking I want to get a Road Glide. I didn't know they made that many Harleys, it was pretty amazing. Didn't see that new water cooled version though  |
LAPD won't let the guys put on the stage 1 kit which opens the motor to more air and some more HP. I have it in my Road King and never had a heat issue plus a bit more get up when I need it, I have the Screaming Eagle exhaust on my bike, just a little more sound but not ear drum rattling, i really like its low rumble.
We were fueling our fire engine at LAPD central the other day and saw the the new BMW's...great looking bikes...my understanding with BMW is that they have to do the maintenance on the bikes as part of the contract.
