They are actually capable of being ridden rather briskly, most just never get to see or bear witness to that.

I agree. I work with a young kid that has a streetglide. I had him follow me down a local favorite road. I took it easy to not push him, and was checking the rear view mirror. It was awesome seeing a pirate ship banked over. For a 20 Y.O., that kid did well. 8)

A 20 Y.O. can afford a streetglide?  What kinda work does he do?  Or is he still living with Momma?

Cool......yeah I took my buddy's Police edition Roadking out for several hours one day, and I had a blast on it. That big ole bike handles pretty darn good, I was actually amazed. I love pretty much anything on 2 wheels for what it is, but for sure have my preferences not unlike you.  :)

A person can afford most anything until the bank takes it from them.  ;D  And there are some responsible 20 year olds out there making some pretty good money, but yeah it is kind of rare these days.

Yeah, He lives with his girlfriends parents, so no monthly bill there. He also drives an 09 Chevy pick-up truck.
We work at a Volvo Mack dealership, fixing trucks. So I suppose it's a decent job. For a 20 year old, he's pretty sharp.
