2009 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Review

[speed]

A Harley touring bike for those who aren't tourist

It struck me more than usual while riding this 2009 Harley-Davidson Street Glide just how iconic a Harley-Davidson is to the image of motorcycling.
Like any one of the songs from the iconic American rock band, The Eagles, that played from the in-faring compact-disc player as I rumbled up California’s Hwy 1, a Harley exemplifies something uniquely American. Not only is an image of America tied to a Harley, the idea of Freedom, the unique freedom found only on a motorcycle, is inexorably linked to the image of a V-Twin cruiser.

I can’t recount how many times I’ve ridden any other brand of cruiser and been asked by non-enthusiasts, “That thing a Harley?” The concept of motorcycles or motorcycling is largely, and likely forever, tied to Harley-Davidson.

I love to take off on the open road.

I love those back roads.

It doesn't get any better than a Harley on the open road with the Rock and Roll blasting. Kind of get that bad ass feeling........ it doesn't get any better!! Until you stop and drink a case of beer... LOL

I think it's a fairly accurate account.

With the exception of the speed and lean angle, it's no doubt the best bike I've ever owned.

Shell - move on down here to North Carolina. We could go riding pretty much year round.

I'm heading down that way next summer to visit you all.
