    Marty, I took delivery of my 2024 Street Glide a week ago now and I am really enjoying the bike after coming from a Breakout and Fatboy. Did your OEM screen have what looks like cracks in it next to the four mounting screws, I have raised this with the dealer but they are saying both the Street Glide and Road Glide have these lines in the screens. Anyhow I have now ordered a Windsplitter 5in screen for mine and hoping that those don't have the issue. I agree the years just fly by I am 68yrs young now and making the most of my opportunities to ride. Thanks for the review and Hi from West Aussie.

    Have the white pearl street glide with chrome trim. Just passed 1000 miles too. Coming from a multistrada but still very impressed with the performance of this bike. It’s a lot of fun and also versatile. Like the tech. Had a few issues with the screen rebooting which was fixed with a dealer software update. No other issues. I got tab performance mufflers with quiet baffles. I don’t want tinnitus and it still sounds great. Nice low rumble. Looking at the 8” windsplitter. Yes, the radio sucks but I have in helmet music. Enjoy!

    I upgraded my seat with a factory option at delivery. This is a first for me as I usually fit pretty well in the factory seats (previously rode a Nomad (02-13) and then a Voyager (13-24), both Kawasakis and both rode more than 60,000). The upgrade seat included the cooled feature I find very helpful on a hot day. It starts off very subtle but after 20 or 30 minutes you can feel it definitely making a difference which continues to grow as you ride longer. Was it worth the $1500 upgrade? IDK. May be more of a novelty feature but it was one that influenced me to choose the Indian brand (how long before Harley offers their version?). It doesn't feel any different than the stock seat but I've only rode distances on the upgrade seat (test rides and showroom impressions previously). The Indian seat is much more firm than the Kawasaki seats but it offers good support. So far my longest day have been about 320miles. I look forward to your videos...you're good at this and make me think about things that wouldn't otherwise cross my mind. Also love the earned respect for multiple brands.

    I admire the Road Glide and see its purpose as a great touring machine. The question, however, is why do ALL sport bikes have low handlebars.? Answer, it puts the rider in the best position to easily maneuver the bike. in fast corners. The body position is thus slightly forward hence leaning again :sporty, allowing for best weight distribution and positioning for weight transfer to assist cornering. The mirrors are in the usual sport position where easy review is enabled. Sitting upright is not the sport position. In fact with extended height bars the rider is sitting upright to slightly back comfortable for long distance highway use but not for faster maneuvering. Negotiating fast twisties is a challenge due to the weight distribution and hand position. Higher mirrors also prove difficult to use on the sport position.. Love the Road Glide for all its uses but for me HD made a great SPORT TOURING...................The Street Glide meets all the criteria.

    I often go to Roanake (pronounced "Row An Oak") for a day outting from Roxboro. I take 158 to Yanceyville, pick up 86 and run it to the west side of Danville to catch 58 towards Martinsville where I find 220 north to Roanoke. Once in Roanoke I find 221 and run that south to Hillsville where I rejoin 58 to run back to Danville where I catch VA 62 south on the east side of Danville (62 becomes NC 57/Semora Road in NC) which runs right by my house on Semora Road just after Concord Church. The ride is rather ho/hum until 221 which is where the fun starts, unless you get stuck behind a long line following an RV. 58 is even a decent road west of Martinsville which is then 4 lane until Danville. This yields about a 350 mile trip for me.

    Latin and Greek words are NOT in the English Bilble. Look at the original Greek and the Latin Bibles - AND THERE THEY ARE IN THE BIBLE! The Latin translation of this verse used the word rapturo. Same word for a RAPTOR - a bird that snatches its prey and pulls it up in the air. The Greek word it translates is harpazo, same word for HARPOON, that snatches its prey and pulls it up to the surface. The English Bible DOES teach the Christians will be “snatched away” or “taken” away up into the sky by Jesus, but it does not use the word Rapture - it just clearly DESCRIBES the event of the Rapture.

That is really my only complaint with the bike. Also on the agenda for down the road are "lizard lights" for fashion (and some visibility at night) and a new heated suit. I am open to suggestions as to which is best. I have had a Tourmaster heated suit since 2008 and only had a few minor problems but given the age, I think it is time for a new heated jacket and gloves.

The 24 batwing does a much better job dealing with windy conditions than the 21. The new screen is great and it only took about an hour to get used to the new buttons on the handlebars. Both of my bikes had the 117 but the 24 is noticeably quicker than the 21 and I am very happy with the cooler riding conditions. I did a couple 97 degree trips since buying the 24. Suspension is greatly improved as well. I'm totally happy so far.

    Love the review and love your new bike. Like you, I appreciate fine bikes regardless of their make. Be careful if you happen to ride a Challenger which would more directly compare to your new bike. The new Indian Challenger doesn't have the heat management issues you mentioned, maintains the Indian ride, and matches the torque of the Streetglide while bettering the horsepower. I've test rode them both and the Indian feels stronger but that's my seat of the pants impression. With you, I am concerned about the (lacking) dealer network for the Indian. EVERYTHING today is highly tech laden and that's all fine until something goes wrong. My suspicion is that not seeing your gages would be the least of your concern (bike probably wouldn't start in the first place). Keep up the good work!! Let's do one of those 600-800 miles days!

    Marty, I watched a few of your videos on the Indians you've owned. They are great bikes. I've owned the Challenger, Roadmaster, Pursuit, Chieftain and now a 2023 Springfield. The Springfield is my favorite of all the Indians for reasons I won't get in to. I also own a 2024 Goldwing Tour DCT. When the new Harleys came out, I went and priced one thinking I might trade one of the bikes or add a 3rd bike like I've done in the past. The new RG and SG look awesome, but they have some issues. Most of the issues I've read about were not ones you mentioned. In any case, I hope you enjoy your bike. No need to go overboard on putting a number rating a motorcycle. Either you like or you don't and it's a personal opinion anyway. Take care.
