Im watching this after coming back from work at 4.30am in the morning , riding through the city with only taxis and clubbers going home on my lil sporty .The sun is rising with that beautiful orange glow the birds are singing , the wind in my face , the smell of dew , the chill of a new day as i leave the city and lean into the windy country road . No dashboard , no computer, ne heated grips , no ABS, the bike is rattling and i feel blessed , no other bike could give me that feeling . God i love my lil sporty . Each to their own. Greetings from Leeds UK.

The next time someone says you should get a real bike. Ask them how many miles they ride every year and do they ride in the rain.

I like this video Sally. We had a saying in the auto industry. THERES AN ASS FOR EVERY SEAT. I ride a Dyna, my brother rides a bagger, my nephew rides a chopped Sportster. We’re all heading to Born Free as 1. Live and let ride. Forever Two Wheels. No matter what form that takes

I agree on reducing distractions. That is why I have solo seats on both of my EVO Softails.

I've been riding a sports for 30 years.I'm very happy with it. And if person says that a girls bike I just give him a finger.

The sound of the exhaust and the wind is all you need!

I love my old road king. No radio just the sound of the bike and the wind. I have had several other bikes so far I like this one the best. Im older now and ride over 30 miles one way to work. Its just comfortable for me. Buy and ride the bike that you like and that works for you. And sportsters are awsome to. Dont worry about the snobs do what you want.

That's right, you ride what you want to ride, not what other people tell you what you should be riding. I picked up a Suzuki DR650 for 8k out the door and I can go a lot more places than someone who spent 30 or 40k on their huge road bike. I have seen people ride a scooter across country and have an awesome trip. If someone tells me what I'm riding isn't good enough, I don't need to be riding with those people.

Sally just nailed it... Brother.

In 1971 I bought a second hand Sportster, it was hard tailed and stroked. I got to knowing the biker community in my area and quickly noticed most everyone was riding chopped pan heads, shovel heads, 45's and knuckles. It was a natural progression to up grade to a 58 pan head. The four years I rode the Sportster not one time did I get a ration of shit from guys riding 74ci Harleys. Bikers then and so called bikers now are completely different. Most people I see nowadays riding are what I call motorcycle enthusiasts. If they hear a certain model is popular that's what they tend to gravitate to, cookie cutter.

I have had people give me shit for riding an older Dyna. I don’t really care lol. I purposely went out looking for a bike from the era of my childhood. You can buy them cash and have no crazy payment and in opinion still have lots of fun. I’m like you I prefer the immersion of the wind and exhaust sound. No music, no windshield just you in the elements. I have tried some of my friend’s baggers and they are just way too heavy for in city riding. Keep up the good work guys. I love watching all your videos.

I'm just an old biker who enjoys my ride. The more of your videos I watch the more I realize how much I relate, or you relate, to my way of thinking. You seem way to young to be so old school thinking. Keep up the good work. Maybe someday I will make it out your way and can say Hi to you and your ole man in person. Keep in upright and in the wind. Mike from Vermont

Great video. I just ditched my Street Glide Special for a Softail Heritage and the first thing I did was rip the damn bags off. I just wanna rid some 2 lanes and hear the motor scream. 🤘🏼

yeah, lets spend thousands of dollars to "get into the wind", but we gotta make sure the bike has all it can have on it to block the wind lmfaooooo

Had me worried those first few minutes. Your blood is true. You and hubby stay as free as you can.

been riding my 73 Ironhead chop as my only ride since 1979. No one gives me shit about it- when I chopped it, we all had sportys or 80 in shovels with a few pans tossed in so it was the norm- now, its just fucking cool.

Sally, I agree people should ride whatever they are comfortable riding. If a moped is what you like ride a moped. I am 6'2" and 300lbs. That being said if I ever get to the point that I can't handle my roadglide. I'll get the trike version or maybe a fatboy.

Love it. This is what's missing from the world now, common sense and empathy. Just do you and enjoy it.

always enjoy your down to earth, real analysis. tx

As you get older your tastes change,when I was younger ,only the Super Glides,Softails appealed to me ,now I have a bagger ,but still have my FXD [EVO's only of course] love both of them

Ride what you can afford. I ride a bagger, a Ducati Monster, and a Ktm. I know I can get on that 103 street glide and at 42000 miles it’s given me ZERO ISSUES. It may break tomorrow, but now it’s paid for so oh well. I’ love motorcycles, not a typical brand… I’ll ride with anyone, I’m more of a solo rider but not by choice

I am 49 and I ride a 1990 sporty. I ride all winter, but I notice most baggers don't come out until it is 80 degrees,and they only ride 15 miles to the bar. A lot of people on baggers are to cool to wave at other bikes (maybe they are too scared to take their hands off the bars). Some bagger riders won't stop to help someone on the side of the road (I have had plenty of them pass me by when I am working on the bike).

Well that's a rant i f every there was. Must say I agree. Especially about the music. To me the engine and pipes provide the music with the wind as background fill in. I really love the old school stuff. Stay safe. Cheers from down under 🇦🇺 Stan.

I dig your channel. I ride and do all my own wrenching. I have a 94 evo road king with 130,000+ miles. I also have a BMW 1200 GS and a KTM 690. I just love motorcycles and like most people who ride. Keep up the pressure. You be you.

Thank you Sally...I love my sportster .. I'm 61 so I want to a soft tail for long trips.

Sally ya had me going at the start haha. As far as sportsters go anybody that rides knows that a well built sporty will eat most bikes light to light and some on the hi way too

Old school cool school just the way of life forever

In 2000 I bought a new Fatboy, loved to cruise around town but when I got on the interstate I felt like I was going to get blown off the bike above 75 mph, I didn't have any way of securing my leather jacket or chaps when I got off the bike while walking around the bike shows or other outdoor events and had to carry my leathers or sweat my ass off wearing them. But I loved my Fatboy and continued riding it until 2006 when I rented a Ultra Classic for the weekend, and it was all over then. I returned the rented bike and traded my Fatboy for a new Ultra Classic with a fairing, stereo and saddlebags and haven't looked back. I do love the sound of a carbureted Harley. potato potato potato.

"salt my chips" is my new favorite phrase 😂

If you were riding that big bagger you'd still be at that campsite trying to figure out how to get back up the gravel hill. Lol

Definitely entertaining! As always you just reaffirm what riding a motorcycle is all about. I have owned two 1200 Sportsters. Both were 05's. Rubber mounted, carb'ed not injected, easy to maintain and a blast to ride. I don't pay attention to what others have to say about anything that I own. I just tell them when they start paying my bills, then I'll listen to their mumbo jumbo. Only time I use a windshield is winter time. Anything to help cut the wind chill. Keep riding those beautiful old motors and enjoy your time riding! Peace!

I rode a 89 Sportster for about 10 years. I extended the rear 8 inches, hardtailed it, 16 inch apes,solo seat, 50 caliber ammo boxes on each side for storage. i loved that bike, but it got to where it was uncomfortable to go any distance on it, so i bought a Fatboy that i r rode for a little, sold it and got Gypsy my 93 Electraglide. She not pretty,she's an EVO and she is comfortable. i'm getting ready to get another EVO bagger. The ten years i rode my Sportster there was a few times i had people tell me it was a girl's bike. I think when you get older,Sally, you may want to switch to a bagger style for the comfort. I turn 60 this year and i still want to keep riding, but my bones and body just need a little more comfort. I know the bagger types that you are talking about,though. I don't shame anyone for what they ride, but like you said there will always be *ssholes out there, that think their sh*t don't stink. Love the video. Peace-out.

I have too much to say... I am a recovering bagger owner and proof that you can go back to a chopper. Baggers are undoubtedly better for a passenger with the bigger frame a better suspension. They have more room and softer ride. All newer bikes have the same motors available. Even though the bagger has 300 pounds extra and could use the extra power they don't actually get it. Anyways I can debate this all day so I'm going to end with, I currently ride a 1980 chopper I really like that color of orange on that street glide, and always enjoy your video!

Sally 💯% right, the Evo Sportster is a great bike. Those engines are almost bulletproof. My 1st bike was a 1200 Sportster and wish I still had it. Have a 09 Fat Bob now but just not as fun as that Sportster. I have nothing against people with baggers but are just to big and bulky for me. 😎Dave H

Sally ... jeffrey from Illinois here ... I like you and your channel and your pretty spot on with your rants , this one IMO is more about the Harley culture in general . I dont ride Harleys , never owned one , but sure see a lot of people riding baggers that shouldnt be . You have to be a Jedi master to ride a big bike like that , a expert in motorcycling so to speak , but that macho harley crowd pushes people into it sadly ... Im 60 years old and have been riding since I was 7 years old and have ridden just about every kind of bike that was made and what do I ride into my final riding years ??? A 1986 Honda Goldwing Interstate and IMO the finest motorcycle ever made . Its a full bagger bike with out the gadgets you speak of and its a huge bike thats relatively light at 670 pounds . It does it all , high speed cruising , twisties , stop light drag races , long range traveling in comfort ... Some of your points about big bagger bikes is valid but honestly , I have never loved to to ride so much since I have owned the wing , the fairing , windshield , and bags just make motorcycling a whole diffrent animal . Being able to ride in the colder weather , having places to carry shit , and blocking all the stupid bugs , birds , rocks ...etc and the constant wind blast just makes me love motorcycling more than I ever have so I ride my ass off ... Mind you , I just speaking about style of bike here , not brands , ride what you like is my motto ... I have too fix my own bikes too , so yeah I like the older models myself ....

Back in the 1980's when the 80 cid (1340cc) was the new thing there was an expression " 8o inches- ride anything less and you wear a dress" 😊

This video is pretty straight and damnnnn right! Got lucky enough to got me a Sportster and that “little thing” brought me too much fun since day 1 … not only making it mine (swapping aftermarket parts and doing other things on it) but also, and the most important FREEDOM!!!! Got to rode my bike and moto camping exploring places in my state (California) like Big Sur all the way hwy1, Yosemite, Sequoia and Joshua Tree National parks, Alabama Hills on HWY 395 . Also interstate places like Virginia city (Nevada) last Summer where I got lucky enough to meet you both and this last spring 2024 I did 2 different runs to Arizona (one to Bisbee for The prowl bike show and the other to Sedona heading back home on the Route 66)… In any of all those trips the bike skip a bit, didn’t even hiccup and never let me down … Highways, backroads, city streets, dirty roads and off roads … Couldn’t be more stoked and couldn’t care less about what all these “brothers” have to say about my “little girlie bike” … 😂😂😂 Nothing can’t compare and beat the feeling of riding a real motorcycle, listening and feeling the engine while getting slapped for bugs and even birds sometimes while in the wind… Riding a bagger is like “driving” a Tesla …. 😂😂😂 Be a man, ride a Sportster interstate … everyone can touring on a bagger!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cannot wait for more miles in the wind on my sporty!!! Keep up the good work amigos!!!

I have a 2008 Ultra and a 79 Lowrider. I like them both. I never listen to the radio on the Ultra. Also I don’t use the GPS. I can’t beat the ride of the Ultra but I love the 79 for the summer time.

If EVERYONE rode a home made chopper, I wouldn't ride mine. I built mine in 96 and still ride it today. We do this because we love it, and not everyone else can do it. Everything has its place. Like you said, at the end of the day - just be cool!

Words well said ole girl. You guys have an awesome site, thank you and your ole man for sharing your riding adventures with us and also the tech tips you pass on to your viewers while wrenching on your bikes, that kind of stuff goes' a long way and can help others save time and a little money too. Along with my old iron, I ride a 6-year-old bagger- when you lose spark to the plugs ...it's a fricken nightmare to trace it down, especially on the side of the highway in BFE at night, I know that from experience. But when riding my ole iron, I can doctor them back to health 99% of the time, unless you detonate your motor or trans. Ride safe my friends

😂 love it!

The Truth hearts some, I myself had a 2016 Ultra Classic and a 2015 Street Glide at different times. After riding them in the city and not just riding on the highways they get heavy. Just wait till your turning into a parking lot and someone cuts you off and you try to not drop those heavy bikes. I went back to a 2010 Street Bob and just the light weight makes the ride better and way nicer in town and on the highway. The wind in the face and just being one with the open road is the key, so many more things come alive when the fairing goes bye bye...

Good talk, I agree with many points. I switched to HD 35 years ago with a new '88 Low Rider Sport. I've had an assortment of HDs since and honestly, the Road King is my favorite because it's a touring bike but without all the distractions (infotainment screen). And, I can run with no windshield when I want.

Hello Sally, I absolutely agree with you. I own two Sportys and an old shovelhead. Someday I will have an old ironhead to add to my Sportster lineup. And all I am going to say about the ones who think they are better than someone who rides a Sportster, because they have a bagger, are full of c**p and blowing it out of their a##! Great job of saying how it is 👍

Ive been riding for 54 years yes at 71 still on a softail shovels befor that, never owned a bagger never will 900 plus pounds of pig stereos touch screens crap i refuse to have and i drive a 1982 vw vanagon slow but steady and this is just me!

Once again I am in agreement with Sally's points. Got 12 bikes in the stable, from 1968 to 2024 vintage. If I could keep only one? FXR. It does everything, does it with style, sounds great, and I can fix it with a rock and bailing wire.

I agree - ride what you love Even if it's a 300cc bike. I have a friend that rides an old single cylinder Yamaha that was recently restored. It's a cool little rip. If we ride together, he's going to lead. I'll be his wingman and we'll have a great ride. I don't need to be that "can you keep up, bro?" kind of guy.

As I got older I had to go to the bagger. I needed the wind protection and comfort.

I just love my 79 Lowrider. I will never sell it because it was my brothers and I was there when he bought it in 79. If I need to get ride of one of my bikes it would be the 08 Ultra. I’m 63 and have always had a motorcycle. Nothing like just riding. I don’t ride in groups because for me it about the ride❤

You said it all,sister!! Even though I also have a Softail,i missed my ol' sporty which I sold..so I bought another used sporty to scoot around on..my 1200 is my daily & yes i do ride to work ( & have in the rain) when the baggers were still afraid of roadsalts in February here in utah.

Nice rant! :) I do above 10K miles per year on a fairly simple 650cc bike that predates touchscreens and bluetooth and ABS. It's going to Sturgis again this year. Previous owner used it for the Sturgis run too.

It's all dictated by the EPA. The bottleneck is the heads and the compression ratio. The stock evo heads flowed more CFM than the stock twin cams. Now I had an 08 ultra with the heads done...and other things. Lovley...but I like my older EVOs etc. To each his own. Just don't wear pool shoes with your leather jacket on a 900 pound decker. I mean really.😂

Good talk Sally💪💪💪

I agree with everything you said Sally. I used to get shit on for riding my triumph by the local HOG chapter. Then I bought a sportster. All of a sudden they want to be my friends. I told them all to piss of and still do lol. I sold that one and bought an old 72 xlch hardtail+a xs650 hardtail and I have an 05 shadow custom build. I enjoy riding all of them. I don't care what you ride as long as you're picking bugs out of your teeth lol. Good luck kid. You're fighting an uphill battle.

Lol that's funny..... hang out with the chopular guys....

i rode harleys for many years. went from a sporty to fxr to bagger. then i bought a dual sport. it was and is still the most fun i have ever had on a motorcycle. they can take you places and see things you will never get to on a large street bike. i have had quite a few different dual sports over the last 17 yrs but still have the first one that started it all. i bought it new and currently has round 85,000 miles. i recently picked up a 95 heritage for longer highway trips but don't ride it much. when you get used to smaller, lighter bikes you really appreciate just how easy and fun they are. just pushing the heritage out of the way in garage to get the dual sport out to ride is annoying. ride your ride. but for me...... phuck those big heavy bikes!

Well that about covered it all!..me thinks sister Sally been maybe sneaking a sip o the Kool aid that runs soo deep😋 hmm.? That's how it all starts ya know!? just a couple of puffs, and you can feel it go right to your head.. next thing you know..😂..

Looks like there's a few tools missing off your shadow board. Great video, by the way. New sub!

I had a 99 sportster that I really miss. I bought a 2010 SG 5 years ago and I really miss my sporty.

I am 46 now and have been riding since I was about 19. I have never known anything newer than an evo. I have never had a windshield. I have never had EFI. I have never had ABS. I have never had GPS. I have never even put a headphone in while riding. I prefer ironheads and shovelheads. My bikes rattle. My bikes shake. My bikes leak oil. I need to ride with tools.... and use them. I love this. If you dont get it, you never will. peace and grease.

Awesome fkn video!!! Telling it like it is!!

Saddlebag lids straight outta Compton. I ride a Dyna. Don't need no stinkin' saddlebags. Small duffel bag with tools and a clean t--shirt and go. I'm also 69 years old.

My last bagger had all the options you mentioned. I sold it for a 30 year old Heritage and never looked back..

Great video, I ride an Ultra cause I am old and my wife rides with me. We ride about 12000 miles a year and have a blast! Still have way more respect for the folks on the sporties and soft tail choppers and so on that ride that many more miles every 6 months! Lol. We are looking for a Sportster for me to go back and forth to work to give the Ultra a break. Why cause I believe like you guys the Sportster is still one of the coolest bikes Harley came out with.

I picked up an 08 FLHTC at a good price a few years ago and immediately stripped it down to bare bone with only bags on it. Like a Road King. Bags are mostly for my rain gear (I ride/live in Florida). Yes, I put on mile in the rain. Rode from FL to Arkansas in 2013 and most of it was rain. Had a Sportster and loved it until it got sideswiped.

I dunno. If you ain't riding 500-1000 miles a week or every other week you don't need a dresser as they were called in my day. Love the points cover 💪

Not a fan of Harleys in general, but I do like the same things as you do in motorcycles; No fairings or windshields, air cooled, push rod actuated valve train, carbureted, simple machines with no fancy electronics. I ride a 1986 BMW R80 (non faring version) Very smooth engine, quick, very comfortable, nice suspension on the softer side, good brakes , handling has a good balance between responsiveness and stability. R80 vs an 883 from the same time period, the r80 is a better motorcycle in category.

I agree with you. Cool to see your bikes there. My first bike was a 1984 1000 cc Ironhead Roadster, great old bike. Hey you's will like Saddle Tramp, his channel has a lot of older Ironhead bikes and he's a cool guy. You guys seem cool, new subscriber here in New Zealand

I ride a Road King, but I also love the Low Rider and Fat Boy. My Road King doesn't have the infotainment system or a radio. I totally agree about the radio - I ride to disconnect from the computer, not plug into it... An FXR with forward controls and floorboards would be pretty great though 😂

Hell yeah, brother, if you’re not riding a Fatboy, you’re not Riding great video Sally 😂

I quit “shoulding” on other people many moons ago.

Thank goodness for someone that isn’t sucked in.

I love riding my chopper, it’s such a visceral experience, but there’s time when my Ultra is just a better choice especially when riding 2 up….

Great video woman, this is why I love ya!!!!!

Old school all day long

I ride the crap out of my 96 springer sportster every day and ripped through the twisty cannons of virginia city and tahoe is my therapy.

I've had all kinds of bikes, 883 sportster, iron head shovel electraglide sport, lowrider fxr, and about a billion metric cruisers and race bikes. But my faves were the HD iron head shovel and the 2 evos. Now as a harley guy of course I want a knuckle but just a little out of my budget . Both of my big Harleys were S&S 96" engines with baker 5 speed which made them the ultimate versions for their time, very fast, very reliable and on par horsepower wise with the twin cams of today both were around 120 hp so no slouch and my little 883 Evo was a ninja killer all stock except for the carb and pipes. I don't want to pay 10 grand for a proprietary computer to tune my bike and mod it. I'd much rather carry some simple hand tools plugs and a quart of oil in my bags and be confident I'll get where I'm going because I can rebuild my bike on the side of the road! Don't need any music but the sound of the pipes, that's what I wanna hear, that's my therapy and what Harleys were designed for, long distance riding enjoyment. If you wanna race buy a xr750 and be evel knevil!

I have a FXR blood brother rides big bmw his son gxer his daughter road king other nephew klr older brother dirt bikes last time I checked this is still America ride what you want.so don’t worry about people crybabies bicthing about you ride . It’s your life ride your ride

"Blocked by bike" indeed, that type of fairing with the clocks is so high, I'm surprised that any of the road is visible, doesn't look like a safe option, you need to see the bloody road surface so much these days, so as not to go crashing into a pot hole.

Good talk. Ride what ever you feel most comfortable with and enjoy most not what others tell you to or think you should. PS if your 47 like you said, you definitely don't look anywhere near that age. Also I personally hate those new bagger things but that's just me and if someone ous likes them then that's cool I won't knock them.

Keep all of your electronics and couch surfing comforts. Keep your ABS and stereo. Less is more. There are definitely time I wish I had some tunes because I've run out of talking points with myself but I don't want more wiring to ruin my rides.

I own a sporty, dyna and an ultra classic, but also have an adventure bike, a dual sport and two dirt bikes I race. In the past I’ve had a few crotch rockets, an old bonneville, and an old Honda hawk, over 30 motorcycles in total and I ride every single day. I personally love my bagger, I travel across country a lot and it’s just the best tool for my style of riding. Here’s my humble opinion… Run what you brung, buy what you like and if other people’s opinions affect you then maybe spend money on therapy instead of a new bike.

I'm 70 years old and I ride an '06 electraglide. I'd rather be on an evo, shovel or a pan. The technology on these new bikes makes it almost impossible to work on your own bike. I guess that's the way the gov't and HD want it. I was at the HD shop yesterday to get a part. I looked at the prices, WOW! I could buy a brand new car for what a new HD cost. I really like my bike but at 70 YO, arthritis and only one leg if I drop my bike I can't pick it up anymore, LOL!

I find it funny that a shovelhead was the next bike I got after getting the 98 electraglide. Thinking I pretty much have had my fill with the bagger that I'm considering selling it and staying with the "sketchier" way of riding.

Oh man, I almost threw up my supper and got severe stomach cramps when I saw you slobbering all over that 800 lb. high dollar pile of plastic. Whew, that was a close one.

To each their own. I think almost anything with two wheels is cool. But I'm not a fan of floor boards at all. The closest I would come to a bagger would be a Low Rider ST. And I wouldn't mind having an adventure touring bike with aluminum top box or side boxes. It would be a fun project to turn my Victory Vegas into a ST style bike.😀😀😀

I've never owned a Sportster but I want one for my second bike badly. I did own a Honda 750 Shadow that I rode for years. Pulled up to a liquor store once and there was an old guy coming out and said I had a nice bike as he was getting on his ten speed. Then he did a double take and said, "Well hell that's a girls bike." I just replied that I didn't have to pedal the damn thing as I walked past him.

I've been riding an Evo Sportster for ages, so long that people call me Sportster Jim but nobody ever gives me a hard time about it. Maybe because I put more miles on a Sportster than they do on their "big" bikes or maybe it's because I live in the Backwoods where few people can afford to show off. Lol When I got my first big twin my buddy said " you're never going to want to ride that Sportster again. The Dyna is gone but the Sportsters remain. I'm planning to build a Sportster trike to replace the car.

I don't like music on a bike because I wanna hear if it starts making a unwanted noise.

Hi spot on here in Uk we have wall to wall speed cameras and still people on sports bikes feel they have to progress to a litre or litre plus rocket ship were they would have more fun on a 600 but each to there own Here we dont see as many baggers on our roads over all more sportsters and cruisers couldnt prise me of my 12 year old Dyna street Bob she goes camping she copes great with everything i do just dont need that extra weight as you said ride what have all that extra money just ride more while you can ride free guys

I love my sporty 1200xlch

Cruise control is the bomb

"Chopular" too funny! I give zero fuggs what anyone says about my scooters, those people are not my people. Pay them no mind.

BROTHER! I ride a black (fill in the blank) Glide! What about you, brother?

Inflation or greedflation being what it is grocery prices has inevitably caused a decrease in the ability to acquire protein riding without a windshield or faring, helps to remedy that every bug you take through your teeth is packed full of protein, and therefore is an asset as well although grasshoppers, if not cooked, can transmit tapeworm larvae

Each to their own,but if I need a windshield and a stereo,I'll take my car

❤

Many years back I rode stripped down hardtail motorcycles. Mostly because they fit my budget. These were bare bones bikes. No gauges or speedo's. They wouldn't go thru the required state inspection process, but we road them and took the tickets when we go them. They seemed to break down, or have parts fall off all the time. But hey, that's what we could afford. Once on a 70 mile trip, I broke down 3 times. We took it in stride. If we were lucky, we'd have someone in a van follow us with a load of tools and extra gas. Then as our financial situations got better, so did our bikes. My knee's will never be the same from kickbacks. And Hitting potholes on my ridged frame, caused me to have lifelong back issues. So after a lifetime of self imposed abuse, I found a way to ride that wasn't tortue. At the moment I own a '06 Harley Police Road King. It's only cool factor is it's a former NYC Police bike. It's a pretty bare bones and simple bike. Only option it has is a factory add on Tachometer. No cruise control , no additional wiring. It does have a single Police air ride seat with rear air shocks, and a windshield. It does have saddle bags, and I put a Honda goldwing tour box on it. I don't like leaving my helmet and gloves ,or my jacket just laying around for anyone to pick up and walk off with. I carry a minimum amount of tools, which I hardly ever used. I've never had a ignition problem, or issue with my fuel injection. Tire's, brakes, and oil changes is all I do to it. It's comfortable, and I would never go back to riding like in the old days. These bikes are the best deals you'll find on a Harley bagger. They're not necessarily pretty, but they will get the job done if your last name doesn't end in Trump.,,

I have three Harleys 67 shovel 2014 fxst and 2020 SG and have been riding for 50 years and these days I like listen to music while riding , through my hearing aids and have done lots of miles though all sorts of weather over long miles. So if you have never ridden a bagger you don’t know what you are talking about Sally, bagger’s handle well quite well. Experience is all it takes.🇦🇺

I had an old road king for a while.. it rode nice but felt fat af.. it was only like 75lbs more than my heritage but felt like 275.. not sure how to explain it. My heritage is just right for me and i will never get anything newer than an evo. No BS to trace down if it starts acting up. Carb and switches
