I've officially made my decision! Road Glide or Street Glide? I can't thank @harleydavidson enough for loaning this gorgeous Street Glide to me for a few weeks to really get a feel for this bike! After riding it around, I have come to the conclusing that I STILL love the Road Glide! She's the bike for me!
Now that doens't mean i'm going to turn around and buy a Road Glide haha! BUT it does mean that I feel confident enough to base my decision off the ample opportunities to test ride multiple different H-D platforms and really learn which motorcycle will be the best fit for myself, my riding style, and my future!

I’ve officially made my decision to GET A BAGGER! If you paid close attention towards the end, you’ll figure out which one I’m leaning towards. 😉 🦈

@Paul20661 3 года назад

But...but...the Road King Extended test ride on that next ?

@motowizardsteve5906 3 года назад

Ride on HTDubs! :D

@theNongskiShow 3 года назад

you should get the Road Glide.. the Street Glide's front end is similar to your existing Harley Jess, at least with the Road Glide, the whole front panel stays in place when you turn (just like how Queen.Sit describes it), different from your existing Harley and the Street Glide (panel also moves when you move the front end), just my two cents, hihi.. don't get me wrong, all these bikes are amazing! im just sharing the difference, ride safe!!

@bigjerm7243 3 года назад

Crazy your from ohio im from Pennsylvania right on the border. My first bike got it last year is a 06 electra glide standard but it's not much of a standard anymore I have 14 in bars nice tunes and some accessories wish I could post a pic lol but I couldn't start on a small bike my uncles fat boy was too small I'm 6'4 and was 350 I'm down under 300 now an the bike feels great I'm glad you switched over

@bigjerm7243 3 года назад

An you'll love the heal toe shifter you'll catch on quick and really you can still use it regular with out the heal if you wanted to

@dustinbarwick9587 3 года назад

It’s really cool that Harley just loaned you a couple bikes like that

@ricchapman4204 3 года назад

I love my 2012 Street Glide!! Only has 4300 miles on her!!! Physical therapist won’t let me ride for another month!! I’m riding with you on each video!!!! Thanks Jess!!!!

@ricchapman4204 3 года назад

@Delmond Devaux what is that?? Had rotator cuff surgery???

@Nrgpack 3 года назад

Good video Jess, and yes, a riders impression of the "feel" of the bike is more useful then specs. Specs is everywhere :-). So. thank you for letting me know your thoughts of the bike!!

@scottschaeffer8920 3 года назад

I ❤️ my Street Glide! Note* A visor pouch solves the extra storage up front-like you get with the Road Glide. They’re both great bikes.

@pdbordelon 3 года назад

I really like the "clocks" / gauges on this bike - simple, classic, beautiful!

@bhouse92101 3 года назад

Your upgrading from the Shadow to a bigger bike confirmed my decision to buy a bigger bike right out of the gate. I am a new rider (at 50 yrs old). When I started this journey, the best piece of advise I got was to NOT get a bike with less than 1100cc. The quote was "you can only twist that throttle on a smaller engine so far, before you're out of power. You can't twist more power out of it, no matter how hard you twist. But, you can always BABY the throttle of a bigger engine." That totally spoke to me. As I was shopping around for a bike, I saw so many ads for smaller engine bikes being sold with the reason of "I need a bigger bike." I didn't want to be THAT person in that same situation. I shopped around and found a BRAND NEW 2018 Suzuki Boulevard M90 for about $4K less than MSRP. It's a 1500cc engine. For a brand new rider, it is a lot to take on (especially since it's over 700 lbs.). I was really intimidated at first (scared to death, honestly). Luckily, I have a friend with a Honda Shadow (similar to yours) that was kind enough to offer me her bike to learn on. Having NEVER ridden a motorcycle before, after about 1.5 hours of practicing on her bike, my bike didn't seem as frightening. I just had to get over the fear. 3 months later, I now have over 1700 miles on my bike and no regrets at all. I would offer the same advise to anyone else out there starting today.

@MrShortcut70 3 года назад

I love what you are doing here, Jess. Just giving the viewers your oppinion on that Street Glide, what you would and would not change, if you would own one to make it fit better for you. And you encourage others to modify the standard version for their fits. It is also nice to see where you come from, the bikes you owned and not owned but rode. I really like this format. I also enjoyed the babe ride out videos. Greetings from Bonn, Germany.

@tate2798 3 года назад

I just went from a 2019 mt 09 to a 2012 street glide and love it. I got it June 3rd of this year and already put 2000 miles on it lol. Enjoy the content and I hope you enjoy your new bike from here on out.

@usmcvet0313 3 года назад

That's awesome 🤙🏼

@roymoderatto 3 года назад

I love frame mounted fairings. I ride FXR mostly, so my favorite bagger is the Road Glide. That being said, some times it all comes to finishes and how they look on both the SG and the RG. Both are amazing fairings. They have evolved just right.

@SenditSteph 3 года назад

Cool!! You ride a FXR too! I ride a 1991 FXR 😊

@Jjhdezjr28 3 года назад

I went from a 2016 sportser to a 2018 street glide and I'm in love with my bagger. Whole different ride and style. I'm already hitting 8k miles on the bagger and then some. Thanks for another awesome video Jess. Take care, ride safe, and God bless

@melvinsmith4232 3 года назад

I love my SG , I have test ridden the RG love it as well. I have short arms so I like having instrument panel closer . Both the RG and SG are great bikes

@lonestar.48 3 года назад

It’s amazing to see how much your channel/brand has grown. I’m excited to see the opportunities that have opened up for you. Keep doing what you do.

@HerTwoWheels 3 года назад

Thank you so much!! Sometimes i'm like, "WTF am I doing?!" and other times I'm like, "This is SO FUN!" hahaha! I appreciate the kind words!

@janetbolen4058 3 года назад

Love watching your videos. I’m a new rider. Only riding for 2 months. I am having a blast. Watching your videos help me get the courage to go further and further. My husband has a huge hand into getting me to ride, but you have encouraged me to do so as well. Seeing women ride is awesome. So far the farthest I have ridden is an hour from my home. Keep up the great videos.

@HerTwoWheels 3 года назад

Awww that’s so exciting! Every time you get the bike out you will learn something new and gain just a smidge more confidence! Seeing other women riders having fun and growing was my main inspiration to “keep going” as well! Thank you for the kind words! Keep your knees to the breeze!

@kyanvilman3659 3 года назад

My sportster is the same year, model, and color of your father in law’s. I have had mine for 4 years. It had 1,200 miles when I got it and after a trip from KY to TX, a ride down the Blueridge Parkway, and countless rides to and from work and moto camping, it’s sitting at 40,000 now. Gotta love the sporty!!!

@davidshrevejr.2115 3 года назад

Last year when I was looking for my next bike it was between the Streetglid and Road King. Needless to say the Road King won out I guess I'm still old school and I just didn't want the faring yet. I have found sometimes where the faring would have been nice( like when it was 46 degrees and I road 180 mi from Salem Oh to Columbus to get my Jeep) that was cold. But all in all I love my Road King but maybe my next bike will be the Streetglid only time will tell. Stay safe out there and keep making the good videos.

@GrassRootOutdoorWork 3 года назад

Really dig into the pros and cons of a special over a standard and vice versa. You can kit out a standard with all the “special” stuff. Minus RDRS, VHC, 114”, black finish, and a couple other proprietary things.

@andrewgarcia1250 3 года назад

2018 street glide was my 3rd bike and it was great till I test road a 2019 road glide ultra and I never looked back. By far my favorite bike

@matthewcarlacci 3 года назад

The electra glide I have didn't come with a raido it was just a empty space and I found a company that made a glove box kit for it with a lock. It's pretty neat

@irvinmartin9259 3 года назад

I have an ‘85 FLHTC. It’s the last year before HD went with the radio fairings, and it’s fairing is just a simple piece of fibreglass. I’ve actually had Harley riders ask me what I did with the radio. The E-G Standard is nice, but if they still made the old style fairings for use on a Road King, that would be my bike.

@robertbedson3207 3 года назад

Awsome bike.. i have a 17 low rider but I really want a road king for touring 🤘

@gmiller217 3 года назад

Harley offers another bagger that it seems nobody really pays attention to ... the Electraglide. I'm really crushing on the 2021 Electraglide revival myself ... old school look with the spring seat ... absolutely beautiful.

@RiderKStory 3 года назад

I also felt like I broke my back while riding a backpack a while ago, so I really sympathize with you. Always be safe!

@stocke75 3 года назад

Started on a Yamaha vstar 1300 in October and put 7k miles on that. Went on vacation to Florida and rode my sister’s street glide, couple days later on Father’s Day I traded my bike in and got a 2015 ultra classic and loving it. Rode to Florida on a Yamaha rode back to Georgia on a sweet ultra with only 5k miles on it

@andyfoley6906 3 года назад

It’s nice how much you love your baggers and your progression towards them. In my family my son has a Rode Glide Special and I have a Street Glide Special. Points you made are right on. His faring is further out and has more storage. Mine is closer in and the one storage pocket will not fit my phone, only my garage door opener. But he’s got longer arms and carries more junk up front than I do. As for handling and comfort, having swapped bikes, they’re both about the same IMO, and he’s in agreement. Whatever you ultimately choose, both are winners.

I have a heel shifter on my Harley street glide and I never use it 😂

Harley Davidson's pretty great... Thet regularly give the Shadetree crew extended test rides as well. It's awesome that you have had the chance to find your "chosen few".

@robbierussell9536 3 года назад

Keep the street glide..KEEP THE DYNA...I saw it when you left Blockheads place. You look good on a Dyna..I miss mine

@Georgiajason 3 года назад

The street glide is an amazing machine. I have a 2019 and love it. I also ride a 1997 softail springer and a 2006 custom chopper build. My springer is hard running and rides hard, it’ll beat your ass after a lot of miles but that street glide is the Cadillac of Harleys.

@davidvance3527 3 года назад

Glad you're expanding your horizons. Looks like TX and Babes Ride Out was fun for all. From other channels as well. Keep up the good work. 👍😎

@jerrydaydc2804 3 года назад

Great video. I was back and forth between the Street Glide and the Road Glide myself until my local Harley-Davidson store did their Demo Days a few weeks ago. Having ridden both of them back to back, it was a hands down decision for me >>>>>> Road Glide. The front end felt much lighter at all speeds. Also, price. The MSRP on the RG is actually $300 cheaper plus it comes with the dual LED headlamps. If I purchased the SG, the first mod would be to get a LED headlight. Also, I do not like the mirrors on the fairing on the SG, so that's another mod to get new handle-bar mounted mirrors. Over time, for me the look of the RG with its shark-nosed fairing is preferred over the bat-winged look. This is truly subjective though. The increased distance to the dash on the RG was an initial concern for me as well, but, practically everything on the infotainment screen is accessible from the handlebar mounted switches. After riding both back-to-back, I actually enjoyed the increased distance. >>>>>>> Perhaps the #1 reason I prefer the RG over the SG is at highway speeds of 65-75 mph, the SG was giving me a fair amount of wind buffeting on my helmet. This was NOT the case with the RG. At 5'8" with a 30" inseam, the RG fit me perfectly (both feet firmly on the ground) and the windshield height was spot on. Of course the windshield can be changed out on the SG to improve the wind buffeting issue, but again, I would have to spend more money on top of the LED headlamps and new mirrors mods previously mentioned. The RG and SG are, of course, the same bike from the fairing back. But, for me, the fairing (and the headlights and the mirrors) makes all of the difference and this is why my vote is for the Road Glide.

@MotoHeadKyle 3 года назад

Love both bikes! Owned a SGS for 4 years and now I have a 2021 RGS absolutely can’t go wrong with either!

@matthewbradshaw1810 3 года назад

I did I had a vstar 650 and about 2 months of that I bought myself a electra glide classic. For me I'm turning into baggers for life.

@victoryrider 3 года назад

I have never owned a street legal bike. Until last month an auction came up with a 2013 Victory Cross country tour. I've put about 2200 miles on 1500 of that last weekend.

@Toplessghost97 3 года назад

They ain't a motorcycle dealership, that's a drug dealership. They loaned you that bike just to get you hooked. Last year I was riding a softtail, but after experiencing a Road Glide and a Street Glide. I now ride a 2021 Snake Venom Street Glide. Happy Riding

@bradsnow4261 3 года назад

So to this day, I actually prefer the look of the batwing fairing. The problem for me was the way the road glide road. In my opinion, having owned both styles, is that the road glide maneuvers better because the fairing weight isn’t on the forks. That being said I bought a 19 road glide special because of the ride and comfort was better than the bat wing. I’ll probably never go back to a bat wing style fairing.

@Ucmpigs 3 года назад

When you get your “Glide”..😎. Consider some lowers. Life changing…even the soft slip on lowers are great, had them on my RK. You can get a set of hard lowers from J&P or HD for Glides. It will extend you riding season with the faring and lowers….as for heal toe…I purposefully keep my toe shifter high enough to slip my foot under. I mix it up because nothing is more embarrassing to get use to heal and test ride or borrow someone’s bike and not be able to hit 2nd gear pulling out of a parking lot…✌️

@Henry.58 3 года назад

I take the lowers off in the summer, just to get better airflow to the motor, But as soon as fall gets here they go back on. Keeps those feet and lower part of my legs from freezing.

@mmathis9860 3 года назад

Love that Red. I had a 1999 Aztec Orange / Diamond Ice 1200 Sportster. Harley has awesome color combinations.

@godsson7779 3 года назад

You made the right decision as a beginning rider to go with the 600. I would advise that to anyone. I would advise against anyone that's a new Rider to get a 1200

@jaytomes2856 3 года назад

I have a toe/heel shifter and I do not really use the heel. 99% of the time I use the toe only. It is one of those options that is absolutely a rider's choice

@zososhep 3 года назад

The biggest difference(Other than asthetics) is the entire weight of the fairing is on your handle bars with a street glide where as with the fixed fairing on the Road Glide it is way easier to manuver. I feel the RG cuts through wind better and is way less fatiguing on long trips which is why I own & love a Road Glide Special! Also I am 6'6" and the street glide just felt very cramped with everything "right there". The RGS fits me but to each their own! Whatever works for you is exactly what you should do! Ride Safe!

@drewloney 3 года назад

Now try the Indian Chieftain and Challenger for a total bagger comparison, the bagger market is a buyers paradise these days and so many great options and spec levels. Love your vids. Hi from Tasmania, Australia!!

@johnjenkins9202 3 года назад

There's a great thing called a throttle lock you should get one for the Dyna. Surprised you didn't get one already throttle locks have always been my cruise control setup have fun stay safe

@dlsimes 3 года назад

I get the appeal of the road glide and the street glide, however they just were not comfortable to me. My first Harley was a 13 dyna super glide with leather saddle bags and clear windscreen and last year I traded it for a 2020 heritage classic with hard bags and clear windscreen. I went with the heritage after trying a street glide and road glide. The heritage just felt right, felt comfortable to me. Enjoy the street glide!

@Sherry-jx9hs 3 года назад

Happy it quit raining for you. We are looking at triple digits the next few days in Portland. I can.t ride that bike Because as I have said I am short and I would not be seeing over the fairing well enough to feel safe so you keep riding it for me!!!! I will keep riding my Bobber :)

@brucesantacory1390 3 года назад

i'm a Retired Harley dealer service manager and GM and i have ridden them ALL since the 70's but for my personal bike i always either FX's or Softails, never owned a bagger till i got my used Road King Classic late last fall and OMG wish i'd gotten one long ago, almost did in 1992, i had ordered a 92 FLHS in Sapphire Sunglo Blue, well in the 90s you had to wait 6-10 months for a bike to come in, and when mine did it was An UGLY COLOR Not the blue i wanted, in the same shipment a blue FXR came in unspoken for and i bought that, then in 1996 the 1st Road King came out and i loved it, wanted one, but vs the price of the FLHS (Electraglide sport) it was out of my price range, i've ridden them, but i still can't get used to the fairings. so i'm a Road king guy

@RoadReality 3 года назад

Batwing! Oh, and you may want to try your Jaws mount on the right handlebar, I find it fits better there. The cubby with the USB cable is a joke though - my phone doesn't fit either. Its best use is for upgrading the firmware for the radio. Love love love my Street Glide!

@scottcampbell1566 3 года назад

Started out with a road king moved on to the ultra limited then to the road glide special, & finally back to the limited a brand new CVO 2021 ultra limited CVO. 😊 if ya get the chance to ride one! You’ll never look back. I like your videos. I’d say only thing I’d say different is the difference between the batwing and shark . Shark looks cool 😎 & handles great. But honestly once you’re used to the weight of the batwing. You miss it when it’s gone. It helps you roll through turns. It also blocks a lot more wind 🌬. You can actually hear the stereo on the batwing a lot better. As for storage a dash organizer takes car of that. iPhone mini fits that slot though perfect. Also gotta watch those cubbies on the road glide. Lost a few pair of glasses & a garage opener out of there. But hey to each their own. Keep the rubber down. Ride on

@harryburnett7086 3 года назад

Love road kings over the road glide or street glides but its what each individual feels on a certain model

@TheElwood359 3 года назад

Road Glide for the win. Ive rode both and find the RG much more nimble and less affected by wind.

@robertzimmer6876 3 года назад

I have a 2015 street glide special and I love my street glide I use the windshield pouch and I have 12 inch bars and put a phone mount on there.

@lawrencebrandt8448 3 года назад

hi I've owned 3 batwing fairing baggers but in dec. 2020 I bought a new road glide limited what I have discovered is the batwing fairing blocks a little bit more air ,little . what I think though is the road glide fairing cuts the air better giving you a little better gas mileage I have 12k on the new bike now. enjoy !

@TonyTone84 3 года назад

You wont regret it one bit! I had a 2012 Street glide that I purchased new and most recently bought a 2019 Road glide special. I actually feel like the weight of the fairing on the streetglide aided handling in slow speeds as opposed to hindering it. The road glide's controls for radio selection and navigating the screen are intuitive and easy to use and frankly when you're riding a motorcycle, majority of the time it's just safer to keep those hands on the bars rather than reaching for and touching a screen. Anyway that's my two cents.. Enjoy that new Road glide!!

@justanotherviewer52 3 года назад

You've done the research. You've done the test rides. You've figured out the best fit for you. Your decision will ultimately make you happy. Enjoy your bagger when you get it. Oh - and go for the heel/toe shifter. It's simple to learn/adjust to.

@donaldcarroll5250 3 года назад

I had a heel/toe shifter on my 2009 Road King and I didn’t like it or ever used it! My new 2020 Road King doesn’t have it which I like better because I can move my feet around on the floorboards on long rides. I’ve ridden sport bikes all my life which only have the single shifter so I’m use to that better

@joelricobene4147 3 года назад

Very cool. I like the look of the Bat wing, ( that's what I have ) but the Shark nose handles better, it's like the front end is lighter or something. Like you said, to each their own. What I can't figure out is why someone would watch a video just to give it a thumbs down. So weird. Be safe Jess !!

@jeremypalumbo9555 3 года назад

Woohoo! I have a Road Glide and I love it! You won't regret getting one!

@IveAlreadyWon 3 года назад

I just bought a new 2021 Road Glide Special myself. I absolutely love the road glides, and love that I now own one.

@thebass1972 3 года назад

Hi Jess, I love your videos, they give me a sense of what it's like to ride a big bike and I like your unique way of looking at things, it always makes me smile. I sadly can't get a car or bike licence due to the fact that I am a chronic epileptic so your videos are my favourite way to experience different bikes and what it's like in relation to your other test drives. Love your camping videos just as much. Thanks. Fond Regards from the Emerald Isle. Twiglet, aka Jas the Bass...

@chrisblake1918 3 года назад

I ride a Heritage Softail. For some reason, she fits me perfectly. Were I to trade her for ANYthing, it would be a Street Glide. But that's just me. The RG tickles your fancy, get that. Be happy.

@2wheels_rolling142 3 года назад

Liked the video. One thing you will need when you get a bagger. Leather saddle bag cover, prevent them from getting scratched when you kick your leg over getting on. Myself I ride a Road Glide for one of the reasons you said on your video. There is so many Street Glides out there, Road Glides stand out more because not so many. Also when you park with hundreds of other bikes like at Sturgis. Easier to spot because its different.

@usmcvet0313 3 года назад

If you step up onto the right side floorboard before throwing your leg over, you won't have an issue kicking your bags anymore. 🤙🏼

@Red81Camaro 3 года назад

Another enjoyable video Jess. Great job at being honest and not making it a sales pitch. Stay safe and you almost used my saying at the end....KEEP ON KEEPING ON! LOL

@morriscovington732 3 года назад

Just tuned in to your channel...love your content and your choice of HD you want but where I live Batwings are everywhere and some Sharknose...you can't go wrong they are the exact same bike with different wind deflectors...I say if it makes you smile when you see it that's your bike...me I ride a 16 CVO SG black licorice with blue cobalt flames stage two with Khrome Werks exhaust...get the bike that makes you smile...Junebug from Rialto California 👍🏿✌🏿☝🏿

@richardmourdock2719 3 года назад

I'm not a "Harley-guy" and I'm definitely not in the market for a new bike, but you are probably the best voice for Harley Davidson on the internet. You connect with the fastest rising segment of the industry (women riders), you speak from a relatively new rider's perspective (just six years of riding) and you speak to where it can take you.. both physically, geographically, experientially and psychologically. All that said, I hope you've given a strong reminder to Harley and every other manufacturer to the value of a test ride of a new bike. I've always been amazed I could take a $150,0000 Lexus or Mercedes for a test drive after ten minutes with a salesperson, but not a $20,000 motorcycle. Makes no sense..

My Road Glide's fuel tank can outpace my butt all day long even with an aftermarket saddle. I love that bike, and you'll love yours. The only problem is all the money you'll spend making it your own.

My first bike was a Honda VTX 1300C. It has worked out and I still have it, but after a year, I think starting on something smaller would have been good. I'm happy with my bike now, and I don't plan to get anything else any time soon, but I can definitely see the wisdom in starting on something a little bit smaller and easier to handle.

Definitely love my road glide, Had a street glide and a ultra classic but once I got out on the road glide it was all done for the bat wing bikes.

@claytonweber8499 3 года назад

Your motorcycle progression is almost the same as mine; Buell then Sportster, then Dyna, now Softail. Haven't had the nerve to try a bagger yet.

Jess You do a great job for the Bagger Nation! 😁👍🏻🇺🇸 as for me I agree with you on the Road-Glide! Best HD ever…owned several HD’s including street and road-glides. Currently I have 2018 CVO Road glide Gunship Grey the best ever HD with Rockford Stereo! Cheers! Dave-Hollywood

I took my 08 electraglide in for a tire and the salesman gave me a tee shirt to test ride a new street glide. Very similar ride. The street glide is a little lighter. I loved the linked braking system and of course newer technology on the electronics but missed the heel shifter which I use all the time on my ultra. The biggest thing I like about my bike is the title. The new street glide unfortunately came with a payment and I think I would seriously miss the tour pack because I use it almost daily. You can carry a buggy of groceries home in that thing.

For me I don't have a preference I'll ride any two wheels out there. But I am impressed with you. Because you will take on any kind of challenge and overcome it. because you are showing the other women out there that they can do whatever it is they want to do and not be afraid and for that I applaud you that's why I watch your videos so keep up the good work👍🏍🏍🏍🏍

@CraigSmith568 3 года назад

I don't listen to a radio when I ride, so neither one matters to me where that screen is. I do like where the gauges are on the Street Glide compared the the Road Glide. I like the protection the Road Glide gives you over the Street Glide though. If I were buying one for long distance I would probably just go for the Road Glide Limited and get the longer suspension and better seat along with the tour pack.

@hardtop8086 3 года назад

I like taking a ride with you Jess. Can't wait till you get that Road Glide. You be safe and good.

I think eventually I want something like this bike. I ride an ADV VSTROM, but a cruiser seems like a comfy ride. Thanks for the vid HTDubs!

I'll never get rid of my VSTROM though, I love that beast

@dougfaulkner6799 3 года назад

I love the Roadglide personally. Maneuvering into tight spots is a breeze on one. I also love the handling better than the Streetglide especially with Legend suspension. Still its all personal preference.

@@sfb1976 for sure. Go test ride them all. The Indians ride really well. For me I love the character of the rubber mounted, unbalanced V-twin; so that always keeps me coming back to the HD touring bikes.

I’m really glad you took that bike out. I really like that bike too coming from a 2013 electric glide classic I prefer the bat wing. I’m a new rider as well about three seasons. Love your videos and watching your popularity grow. Honesty is a great feature and keeping is done to earth and very real. Look forward to more - all best from Fort Erie Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦

@thomasstropes4835 3 года назад

We all have our preferences. I had a road glide ultra for 2 years. I liked the bike a lot, but a fairing full time was not for me. Especially when it is hot out.

@mmathis9860 3 года назад

My first street bike was a 200 Kawasaki. Just starting out in 1978. 18 years old. Rode off rode bikes for years before that.

@ianstradian 3 года назад

Hey Jess here is something to consider about the two different bikes, Street Glide or Road Glide I’ve ridden both, and I love both. But.... In rainy weather the Street Glide batwing fairing is the best of the two. I can get down and get out of most of the rain behind the batwing fairing. You really can’t on a Road Glide the windscreen is too far away. Now, that being said in a heavy cross wind situation the shark nose wins, hands down, it cuts right through the wind, where the batwing tends to get buffeted a bit. I have a 2014 Street Glide Special, a 2007 Softail Deuce and a 06 sportster. I might have a motorcycle addiction... Because I want a Buell and a Triumph to complete my stable.

@ronmarvicsin7709 3 года назад

It’s kinda funny Jess because every bike you ride you say I LOVE this bike. I thought you looked great on the Road King. To me, and you touched on it.the Road Glide fairing is too far away for me and I’m 6ft. I’m just not a fairing guy. I’ll put a windshield on my Deluxe but I like the openness n view. Ride safe!

@SenditSteph 3 года назад

I love hearing your enthusiasm for baggers! I’m team 🦈 if we are picking teams haha. I ride a 30 years old Harley and I totally hear you about LOVING your motorcycle but wanting another for long distance rides.

@HerTwoWheels 3 года назад

Right! It's the best of both worlds! haha!

@xHawgRyderx 3 года назад

I went from a Sportster to a 15 RGS with zero hours on a touring bike. I was amazed at the balance and handling. 6 years later I have no desire to buy a SG. Be different. RG is roomier for taller riders and the fixed fairing was never a big deal other than the steering is lighter than a batwing.

Street glide is better to squeeze between cars..😉 in europe it's allowed and in CA too I think

@eddieearl2286 3 года назад

Yeah it’s a great bike I had a new one in 2008 foot5000 miles on it gave it to my son-in-law and I went back to a Road King

@reallyoldfart6540 3 года назад

Go with the red shark. Don't worry about our tastes in baggers and gauges..., tastes change, I once visited a college in California in the 70's and every single girl was dressed like Annie Hall, it was almost creepy, the bagger has a purpose and if Harley gave me one I'd cry (never had one).

@infini1970 3 года назад

Great talk about the bike and I'm glad you like it. I will point out that you can get a bit more storage by getting it with the lower fairings. It's like the road glide pockets but not quite as convenient. But still extra storage nevertheless.

I love my 19’ Road Glide Ultra almost as much as I love my wife. We love going places on it and love modifying it. We have been all over Indiana, Michigan, your neck of the woods Ohio, all over Kentucky, Tennessee, both Carolinas. We came from a Dyna also.

Pick up a " cramp buster " for the throttle on your Dyna. Its not crude but it allows you to rest your wrist on the throttle

@jasoningram4255 3 года назад

You rode shade trees goldwing. Goldwings have all the storage, is smooth and supremely reliable. So maybe think about the goldwing a bit before you make a concrete decision on your next bike.

@specialed5098 3 года назад

You did it right. Start out smaller bike and with experience you gradually increase in size. In Europe its mandatory to start out with a smaller bike. And people who started out with a full size bike just don't have a clue about motorcycles. I always say they have more money then brains. I have been riding over 50 + years have owned over 40 + motorcycles ( many different brands) and have recorded over 3/4 MILLION MILES. I enjoy watching new riders with their enthusiasm and surprised what options bikes have. Like your videos
