But a big touring bike would be much more fun.
An Indian, maybe a Goldwing trike :-)


I did just fine on a Sportster...


I had one of those. It was just a little too small,
a little too narrow - and that HURT me. Might
be OK for younger people though. Also, seemed
I could not go out for a days ride on the thing
without *something* breaking ............

An Indian Chief looks good. My legs are a tad
too short to safely hold up a Goldwing at a
slippery intersection, so the trike comes to
mind (but they cost as much as a Escalade).
Hondas are reliable. The late great Victorys
were reliable. Kawasakis are mostly reliable.
BMWs ... depends. One bike that intrigued
me was the Triumph Rocket-III ... never rode
one but I sat on one and it was a surprisingly
light-feeling bike. They have an updated model
this year - about 25% more power :-)
