Thanks for all the replies...appreciate it.
ChopperDude; They do not rent bikes here in upstate NY. Harley will not even let you test drive a new bike...they simply expect you to shell out the moolah and be on your way. I do not know anyone with a 2000 or newer softail or I would simply use theirs for 5 minutes and know if my eyes could handle it.(which for some reason my eyes are ultra-sensitive to vibration...could be the eye pressure prob's I do have).
Thus, I ask all of you..who have Harley experience and are kind enough to help us new riders out with our questions...
I asked my question again here on the forum...in a different way...because I did not get the opinions I wanted the first time. Its like the same reason people comparison shop and read reviews about an item before buying. We all hope the purchase we make will make us happy and fullfill our expectations. Had I been experienced and licensed to begin with, I would not now be stuck having the work of selling my 98 Softail. A mistake that cost me time and money.
So, in conclusion; I cannot rent nor lease a bike to try it. I have no one I am good friends with that owns one. Local Harley will not allow test drives as all their models are new and stay in the showroom (what the salesmen said). I even stopped at Yahama and was told same thing by them......first you buy it, THEN you can drive it all you want. Honda was the only one who said "Sure...you can drive it around the parking lot. But I do not want a Honda or other J-bike... I want a Harley.
Just plain sucks. Anyway...thanks again everyone...
Maybe I can drive one at Americade in Lake George,NY in June...as I live like 4 miles away from where they hold it!
Very best regards;
Jake
