Just wanted to share this.....

Yesterday was our monthly ride of the group I run the Bad Dog Riders and 2 of my friends wanted to come along that didn't have bikes. Myself and one of the other guys volunteered to take them. We had a nice mix of city, highway and country roads and after lunch Arlen my passenger was asked by one of the other guys who has a Harley Soft Tail if he wanted to try riding with him. Well we had a nice stretch and he got to experience what it was like. At our next stop though he came over to me and asked if he could ride with me again, I said of course. He said that compared to the 2 bikes, the ride on mine was like a Cadillac with smooth and comfortable going. His butt and legs were getting numb on the Soft Tail after about 15 minutes. Nothing like having someone brag about how good the ride is (that isn't me) to the group of Cruisers!

I have a Uly and a softail. As far as I'm concerned both are comfy for the rider and both are fun to ride. They are just two different tools for two different jobs lol. The wife is more comfy on the back of the uly on long rides but likes the softail for running around town as its easier for her to get off and on (the downfall of being 5 foot tall lol)
