Hi all
New to the site, but not to bikes. Love riding in Montana, but not as much in the winter. There are always beautiful two lane roads that lead to beautiful valleys and picturesque towns.

I got tired of seeing nothing but Harleys up here. I have nothing against them and have owned 6 myself. But they all started looking alike...and the people riding them all looked alike. It was "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" all over again, except they substituted Harleys for those giant pea pods! The Harley riders get this "I can't believe how much I just paid for that chrome bolt" frozen glare that is only broken by interaction with others from their cult (HOG)!

Well, I love my Roadliner! I think it is better looking than any stock Harley on the road, it is big, fast and handles like a dream. Vibrations are almost non existent. (sorry ladies) And while riders go by on their Harleys, I get "whoops" and stares and 'WOW's" from bystanders too burned out on Harleys to care any more.
