Cracking day so decided to see if yon Harley would start?

Of course it did, so bit of air in the tyres and we were off to Stirling for a haircut, the full Clooney. Blatted over the Callander road, with the new Two Brothers exhaust howling and popping and banging in a joyous, great to be alive kind of way.

Went over to near Aberfoyle and parked the bike up and just smelled the roses, then headed back to Stirling.

Sports mode was used and while it's no sports bike, it can be hustled along at surprising speed with supreme stability, confidence and comfort. Small children smile and wave too, you don't get that on a Honda sewing machine.

The new panniers are also great, although I do have to remember they're there when filtering, John!

BTW. I reckon it will do 140 with a long enough straight away!

Also happy to report that I find the Sundowner seat really very plush and comfortable, perhaps even slightly more supportive than the OE seat. No doubt not as good as a Corbin, but they are double the price here in the UK, at least.

And you could blow me over with a feather, but the bike's clock was within 10 mins of being at the correct time today, what's the chances?

After many hours researching and reading reviews of several different seats. Think I've decided to go with sundowner. There's alot similar to what you said, it's basically half cost of most others including corbin plus I got 75$ voucher/coupon for HD!

Switch on the synchronization with the Harley app on the smartphone in the bike settings. I always have the right time in IM.

I don't mind, when I'm riding, time, is the least of my worries. I quite like it that the Dirtglide doesn't care either - time's a negative reality inversion, man! ☮

Let us know how you find it, more confort is never a bad thing. I haven't tried it in the higher height setting yet. I found that more confortable with the OE seat, but just slightly too tall for my, short fat hairy legs. The sundowner being a bit more compliant, it may just be the in the Goldilocks zone.

Sure will, I ordered it last Saturday so I don't have it, yet.
Like you said spring is coming and weather here has been alot better so will be putting some miles on.

SPRING IS HERE!!!!, had a beautiful slightly breezy day yesterday but got some miles on ~150! All on new sundowner.🥰
I'll update if I need to but thinking it won't be necessary!

Yeah I know, not many miles but the first sit on it it felt good 🤗 and while riding I could feel the difference. So I'm assuming it's gonna be better on the long haul and yeah you're still gonna need your breaks/stretch etc. Im thinking this seat will make it alot better between them stops and not needing to stop sooner/more often, I hope I'm right.

And just think, I was having happy, smiling miles before.✌

It's just keeps getting better

At North of 50, I usually require a comfort stop before a pit stop is required for gas, especially as the PA will do 170-200 miles on a tank. I'm glad you're enjoying the sundowner as much as I am. I love that extra bit of comfort and it's also much more water resistant should the sky run cloudy, which can happen in, Scotland, at least. 🍺

I was blessed, made it into 70s but didn't feel like it with the wind.
Oh I understand, indiana fluctuates quite a bit in spring. Today was exact opposite of yesterday.
Yeah I'm ready to really test my comfort level with the new equipment on bike.

Rain and fog in the morning, still some snowdrifts on the shoulder, but sunny and 70 by afternoon

Thought that was Mount Rainier in the background, but doubtful with your license plate. Like the accent colors, paint, texture, or tape?

Hey Paul,
Oregon plate with Mt. Adams in the background, just south of Glenwood WA. Added a splash of bright to the sea of black with some vinyl wrap.

 

[PNW Paul]

Adams was my second guess - - couldn't quite make out your plate. . . Like the wrap, nice touch.

 

[Dirtglide]

You lads in the US are so lucky to have all that as your playground. Remember that and give thanks for your birth and mine. 🆒

The loop through Glenwood is a favorite
Great views in the Columbia River Gorge along with mountain scenery, all connected with tasty sections of twisties, and delicious homemade pie at the little cafe across from the burger place.
