2014 HD's out on their Web Page

Nope,,, Ride a bagger first, then report back.

Loaded & 2-up, baggers will out handle your bobber in any riding conditions. They may not have the old school look but the ride has no comparison. They are well balanced and do not feel as heavy as they are.

Isn't that a little like saying a Greyhound bus will outhandle a small car with a big motor ?

I'll be honest with you - I'd be a bit intimidated trying to ride a fully loaded bagger with a passenger. Think I'd have to do some weight training first, mostly on my skinny legs LOL.

Google Motorcycle rodeo and watch those guys (mostly cops) put those baggers through they're paces. If you have never seen them, it'll open your eyes.

Rear suspension keeps the tire on the ground, when the rear tire is off the ground where does it go. Put it on a lift and find out. I like bobbers and will more than likely own one, but better suspension and more traction means go fast.

There ya go JB. Try that on a rigid bobber. !

That's not news and yes they practice continuoslly. I've been to one Rodeo and you gotta be there to really get the experience. Don't miss going to one if you get the chance. One rider after another with extrodinary riding skills. Don't underestimate the skills of any Motor Cop.

I go thru the twisties at a speed apropriate when possible. Its not fun for me otherwise. Followed a rider last Tuesday thru a mountainous twisty state route. The posted speed limit was 35-40MPH. He lead and averaged 60-70MPH+. I would catch him on the flats but would fall behind in the twisties....I do not care. I do not find the pressure of high speed manuevering fun. I enjoy a moderate and leisurely speed on average. To each his own.

Yup. Thats where I am and where I will be from now on. While 57 years old isn't dead I find its an age where I don't enjoy things that are supose to be fun but in actuality are stressfull. My adrenalin pumping days are behind me. Its all about relaxing and casual for me.

Smart man. Know and ride within your comfort zone

Talking to a Brevard co. motorcop, I found that they spend one day a month practicing, also they drop them a lot while practicing,but it's taxpayers who fix the bikes. they don't have to pay for the dings like we would.

Yep, nobody is born with those skills and you're gonna drop,crash the bikes developing them,scrapes and dings ain't gonna hurt the bike,but if you drop and ding the bike a lot ,you ain't gonna be a motor cop

Point is, Who wants to or can afford to do all that practice on they're own $20-$35 thousand dollar baby? Be glad and fun to try on someone elses bike.
