well, i picked up my 02 custom, yesterday.
drove it home in 30 mph winds, its nothing what i thought it would be, staying on the bike was tirering. my boots have problems staying on the forward controls,wind gusts push this bike all around,and the ride is like a hard tail.i cant even gun it like i want too,for fear of slipping off!!!
i think i have been on my tour glide for to long,cause it dosent wear me out like this bike. maybe after i get a windsheild , and figure out a way to hang on better i will come to like it.
but she is pretty, and quick.
TRG
ps
thank god for my old tour glide!! |

| truth be told, i actually bought the bike so my 21 year old son could ride with me, but at a rally last weekend sombody desided they needed a bike seat worst than i did,so my tour glide is missing a seat!!!! and it is gonna be a couple of weeks before i can afford to get one. so i am just cruising around on the custom till then. i think i will enjoy the custom a little bit more when i get a windsheild. the tour glide just has me spoiled.
but the custom is kinda fun to ride,between wheelies(wished i could move the foot controls to the back passenger pegs) and burnouts it has brought me back to a miss spent youth. that part is really cooll!!!!
the thing is , i am no longer a young man, i have come acustom to the big ole cruiser. so i will change nothing, and a just enjoy being old. and let my son make any changes that he see's fit.
