Hi Guy's
I did 80 miles today and froze my old boy's nuts off, but I enjoyed every mile of it
The bike ran like a champ and I'm always surprised how nimble she is for a fat girl
But I think her best ability...... is making me feel special
Have I said before that I like the riding position of the Roadster better than my 09 standard, but I think
the 3 tailpipes on my 09 looked better just kinda gave it a unique look
Glad to be back on both the bike and the forum

i have a classic,im not keen on the position either,i find it more like the roadster position if i use a airhawk to lift me higher,but then i have the boards not pegs.i have also chopped off the heel shifter so i use the rear of the boards more.
 
Sorry if I missed your earlier post but how long have you had the Roadster and is it new? Pleased you love it either way. |for one reason or another I haven't been able to get out on mine for 6 weeks!
 

Welcome back!
 
SOMETIMES I GET A FEELING....to ride today would be frost bitten suicide 8 degrees with the wind howling. I have to say though last year 2015 into 2016 is the longest I've ridden this far into the winter months.

Hi Blackthou
I bought my first one new in 09 and swore I wouldn't buy another one, I bought the Roadster new in 2013

I'm 5ft 8in and find the position better, I used to find that my feet got blown off the pegs at speed, so I would tuck my toes under the pegs and grip from there
Yeah not a fan of boards, just reminds me of Harley would like to point out that I only ride fast on a private road

And you've never really been forgiven for what you did in between. Haha.
Welcome back old mate.
