Dang. I was planning on going to an HD demo day today, but totally blew it off because, uh... I forgot. Finally remembered halfway down the road to my favorite car wash, and by then it was pretty much over. Ah well, it's not like they've got a hell of a lot of model creep, do they? This year, cruisers! (and one standard.) Next year... cruisers! (and one standard.) E: So what's the difference between the model lines again. this about accurate? Sportster: It has been made since forever, has a smaller motor, two shocks in the back and is a girl's bike because it is smaller and handles better. Dyna: It has two shocks in the back and a bigger motor. Softail: It has one shock in the back, hidden so it looks like it could destroy your kidneys, and a bigger motor. Touring: It has bags and one of two ugly fairings, but is otherwise a dyna or softail. Whatever-Rod: It has a motor developed by Porsche for Erik Buell that we then stole and bastardized until he couldn't use it. Also it looks like something Cloud Strife would ride.

It's been a gently caress of a while since I posted in CA. Was at a Harley demo day this weekend and tried out a V-Rod Muscle and a Sportster '48, and man what a difference between the two. The V-Rod was very nice, I couldn't believe how smooth and quiet the motor was compared to everything around me. I did find myself wishing it had more suspension travel, more standard ergos, maybe some wind protection, so basically what I rode in on but with more power. I don't think I'd get one at this point in my life unless I had 18 grand of someone else's money to spend (and the one the dealer had on hand was marked up to 21.5, wtf). I understand the Night Rod is a little better on the ergos but I suspect I'd still want to convert it to standard pegs. And a passenger seat and luggage and a screen to keep the wind off my chest. The 48, I should have rode first. I don't want to think about what they were like before the rubber-mounted engine. Thing looks fantastic sitting there, but it made a hell of a lot of production about getting up to 130 kph. The real killer is, I don't know what it was about the seat but I felt like I was sitting directly on my rear end in a top hat. Forget an hour, I wanted off after the first couple minutes.

I was talking about how if I ever got my mitts on a Night Rod, I'd want to convert it to mid controls... HD is now selling a kit for that. So that's neat.
