Some of you may recall my friend Rand. He's the president of my hospital who let me be the caretaker of his KLR's for a few months last winter and spring. He sold those, but not before I had many good times on them.

Well now I have this Harley Electra-Glide to use as much as I like for as long as I like. He said, "You can take it to Kansas if you want, go nuts". :P

It's the first powerful HD I've ever ridden. It will wheelie in 1st or second. It has a bored and stroked high compression motor, free flow heads, larger carb, chip, and all the goodies. :D

I doubt I'll use it much because I have the Gold Wing but I'll have some fun with it.

What you wanna bet Miss Megan will look good on this? 8)

I've never heard someone say "high power" and "Harley" in the same sentence.

Powerful. For a Harley. It has maybe 3/4 the juice of the Gold Wing so don't worry.

Barnone, I'm NOT living right! I'm a screwup just like everyone else. I am being blessed MUCH more than I deserve.

I was just pushin' buttons. She's a very nice ride.

Sounds like an opportunity for a photographic case study. You know, in the name of science.

Indeed! To be scientifically valid, we need to examine photographs of Miss Megan posed with both the Harley, and the Gold Wing. Perhaps she can don matching outfits for both bikes? 8)

Sounds like a great idea!

It will be a week or two, she/we are going to be out of town a bit for the holiday. :D

Sweet Glide, Doc! Yes, there are some pretty spry HD's these days. My buddy who has the 650 Tiger has a rocketship of an FXD.
You should ride that around for a while with the big kit in it.....and then go compare it to a stock Vision or X-Country! 8)

The down side to the enlarged and souped up engine is that it only gets maybe 25-30 MPG but it's an around town bike so it doesn't matter....much.

The BSA gets an honest 60 MPG every fillup!
