So, I have my eye on 2 bikes....

Wide-Glide and The Rocker-C

Anyone have any inputs on these?

The International Association of Machinists is raffling off a new Rocker C.
It's on display in the lobby at the Wippensinger Center on Clark's Landing Road. The guard at the desk has the tickets to sell, $5 each or 6 for $20

Why does a bike with no passenger seat have passenger foot pegs?

Rocker C has the flip out passenger seat.

Haven't figured out the pictures thing, but I'm jonesing for the new Crossbones.

Only thing I don't care for is the rear fender. Don't like the duckbill in the rear, and the rear tire looks too small for the size of the fender. Other than that, love the whole retro look.

It looks like they airbrushed out most of the front disk brake in that pic :lol:

Shouldn't be hard to get a different rear fender, Harley's seem to be modular mix-n-match on most parts.

... and a can of flat black Rustoleum should match the paint :yay:

Finishing last
I gave up on being anti any bike. It's not the bikes fault posers like em'. Besides I actually met a few real riders (note I said rider not biker) who ride Harleys, so I'm changing my ways. I still wont buy one, too expensive for me. Besides Harleys look funny held together with duck tape and bailing wire!:lmao:

Very clever
guess it's OK for a bar bike.

All American is supposed to be getting one for the showroom floor, but everytime they get one in, its sold and never makes it out front :lol:

If it get's the girl back to your place, that's all that counts. :yay:

I saw a blue one at a bike shop yesterday when i picked mine up.. i didn't really care for it.. maybe the look takes a time to grow on you.. or maybe it was the color.. who knows..

:yeahthat: Busting on someone choice of ride over and over and over is petty and immature.

If Harley's are according to you stereotyped as, "bar bikes", what are BMW's stereotyped as, "short bus bicycles"?

The Rocker C is not a bike I'd like to travel on. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to attach any meaningful amount of luggage.
It's not a bike I'd like to commute on. I'd have to wear a back pack just to carry my lunch.
It would be a good bike for riding down to Toot's on a Saturday evening.

Harley makes several good road bikes that are useful for activities other than riding to the neighborhood watering hole, but the Rocker C ain't one of them.
