Nice part of working at a dealership

I did get to take our demo home one night and put about 40 miles on it on familiar roads. If I wanted another cruiser I'd be trading for one of them. That is one sweet ride for a cruiser!

The '05 Concourse was, interesting I guess. Decent power for it's weight and it is heavy. I hit the interstate w/ it and the wind from the trucks had it wagging its ass like a happy dog at 85-90 mph. Kind of unsettling, but wasn't so bad at 65-70. It was weird because I couldn't feel the bike lean or push as a whole, just the back wagging back and forth. It put off a lot of heat behind the shield and fairing also, would suck in the summer. I want to take a new Connie for a decent test ride. I've ridden one in the parking lot but that's it.

I like the Raider. Good looking bike. Never rode on though.
