Brad, why would you want to win Dave? You think he's some kind of prize? For a minute I thought this thread was getting back to normal. Now I'm not so sure!

That's the only reason anyone ever invites me along. :(

There goes my self esteem!

That's just sick.

Ponch, I love your BMW. Not sure about the ninja outfit.

[ponch]

it's not me. It's Robert De Niro reprising the character Archibald "Harry" Tuttle in the movie Brazil. he was the illegal repairman and originator of the quote in my sig.

WTH is the matter here? I'm glad I ran into this thread because you folks have no idea of what you're saying about Brad. I was there and he was drinking in that Road Glide, Ultra! I can't tell you how many times Dave and I tried to get him away from it!

Couple of thoughts:

1) The BMW was way over priced. The salesman said he could sell more of the "older units." He understood that he wasn't getting the new ones quickly. Go ahead, buy the old one! Pay an extra $fewK for the old one you can get right now.?

2) Yes! That was Dave converting Brad over to HD. I think Brad's getting a HD.

3) You shoulda been there, I couldn't leave with Brad stuck on that HD Road Glide! Becsuse I drove.

Best ride in my opinion- HD Ultra Classic. The Voyager was cheaply made as well as the Yamaha, etc. I won't buy another Kawa.


Sorry guys, but I have one.

All I can say is do a Ben Franklin, a column A and Column B with features for each, and lets compare them together. May be certain things don't matter to you and that's fine, but there's technology there in one that probably won't be in the other ever. Technology costs money to develop and it's passed on to the consumer, no matter the product. As for price, I paid a lot less for mine than the EG Ultra. In fact enough such that I could have kept my nomad and still financed the RT. Something I wish I had thought about more, BUT, if Brad had the hots, then god bless and he found himself a winner then. I will say the RG Ultra doesn't feel as cramped as the EG, which is a plus for big guys.

As far as the Voyager goes, it is a copy of the HD, but my only complaint is that I wish they did something more original (base it on the C14). In and of itself the bike is fine. I like the Vaquero more though, especially the Red one, they are the fastest you know.

Pay no attention to Tom Ponce!!! He tried his best but I'm a tough sell! No doubt all the new bikes are great! Like you said the Road Glide Ultra fits us larger boys better than the EG. I've always favored a frame mounted fairing. Less weight on the handlebars. I will be looking carefully for my next ride.

Dave, on the other hand reminded me how reliable my Nomad has been and the way I take care of it it runs perfect and is spotless so why upgrade?! Dave has a point. I have no issue taking it on a moments notice for a 1k ride.

BTW, Tom bought a near new full sized HD trunk to replace the smaller one with a rack that you see in his pics. He gave me his other trunk and mounting rack and it will be mounted shortly. Wompus made him a new mounting bracket so the HD trunk fits lower. The trunk he gave me weighs 1/4 that of the HD he's mounting.
