  • I finally rode the Harley Davidson Road Glide Special! You keep asking my what I want my next bike to be and I keep saying the Road Glide Special, but I needed to experience it for myself! This is my VERY first time test riding a 2020 Road Glide Special up at Farrow Harley Davidson. I can't believe how quickly I fell in love with this big bike! What do you think? SHOULD I BUY IT?

      Hey Jess, get some Legend Revo A shocks on the back of your Dyna. It'll cost you about $1800.00 for them, but that will super improve you ride ( Maybe Legend Will give you a deal if they understand that you're an "Influencer"', you could sport their stickers on your bike and give 'em some love on you channel). Your Dyna Girl is perfect for the type of riding that you're doing on your channel, meaning around town with some long trips once in a while. I have a Road King and I find myself wishing I had a Dyna or a Softail for riding around town. You know, cuz those bikes are 200 lbs lighter than mine. My Son has an FXR and he is always complaining when he rides my bike, that wrestling that big O' Hog around town is not so fun. Maybe try an Indian touring bike next?

I’m on my second one and I have it stoked up with a cam and some other cool weather fighter stuff. I am happy as all get out that I finally made it to the Road Glide. It changes a person’s biker world. It gets a lot bigger.

    I have switched back and forth between Touring and Softail. I always go back to the Softail/Dyna. Even if I handle it great on the road, slow manuevering is a pickle and takes alot more energy. I am 5'3" and just sold my Road Glide Special for a new Sport Glide and love it. My 10th Harley since 1995. I dont have to worry about backing out or up in angles or gravel etc. Going camping by myself on a Road Glide would be hard to manage.

I spent at lot of time in an empty parking lot learning how to handle her. Now, I'm on a 2015 Road Glide Special and love it.

      Edgar Machado oh no. I wasn’t that smart. I bought it had it trailered to my house because I didn’t know how to ride, load, strap, unload one. Sat on it about 10 minutes figuring out what all the buttons did and spent like an hour in a parking lot learning how to move it and then took a 200 mile trip to work on it. My only mode of transportation for an entire week. So it was learn how to ride it or don’t go to work. 😂

Then I realized that the floor boards are too high, handle bars are too low and you are locked into one position. I couldn't wait to get off of it. I have ridden my Dyna across the country a few times. Definitely rent one for a day before you decide.

It's hydraulic and after about 50 miles it'll loosen up and feel easier to squeeze than your Dyna.
