Your posts always make me chuckle, and this is one is no exception.

Day 3 at motorcycle school…mrs. mad dog [the retired airline pilot] graduates which qualifies her to receive her full motorcycle endorsement in Ohio! The motorcycle pictured is a Suzuki GN125 which was provided by the motorcycle school and was mrs. mad dog’s motorcycle during the training/testing. Congrats to mrs. mad dog…also…yeppers, I’m wearing one of my amazing Speedmasters [it’s a 3861] as well as some of my awesome Honda stuff [obviously]…

OMG!

Test rode three Harley-Davidsons…a 2023 Street Bob 114 (yellow arrow), a 2023 Fat Bob 114 (black arrow), and a 2023 Sportster S 1250 (blue arrow). That Sportster S in “sport mode” aka “plaid mode” could really poke your eye out…wicked fast…

Really don't care for the pipes on the Sportster S amd Fat Bob. I don't know all the HD models these days, but just can't get behind that look.

I hear you…what do you think about the pipes on the Street Bob? Personally, I think they look more like classic H-D…



…but I will say that the ride was the least comfortable (of the three) on the Street Bob…due to the mid controls making me put my knees in my face.

Yes sir. Much better. I have always liked the bob tail look. That particular one with the throw back logo and tank is nice.

Saw this out front my office building the other day. Awesome looking. Even has the motosickle version of HOTAS. Not sure I could ride these 21st century bikes. What does something like this cost?
