Never owned a Harley before and I hope I live long enough to enjoy this one. I just picked this bike up from a dealer in Nevada yesterday and had to drive 100 miles to get it home. The bike had brand new tires installed on it before I picked it up. The trip home was an experience I will not soon forget. I couldn´t get the bike over 60 mph without feeling like I was completely out of control. I mean it was two hands on the grips and holding on for dear life. I thought I was in the ditch several times. If I could go back 48 hours I would still be riding my Shadow and someone else can have this death trap. The bike is sure nice to look at while it´s sitting still though.
