The Dyna arrived today - full marks to Harleyworld in Chesterfield here in the UK. They did a pretty spectacular job of turning the bike out looking superb and with all the jobs I requested having been done - plus a few more!
Obviously as soon as the delivery driver left I was kitted up and off out for a test ride................
"Interesting" I think is the best way to describe it. Like nothing else I've ever ridden before. It doesn't handle at all, every corner and bend is an adventure - and some a lottery whether you'll actually make it out the other side alive!
The suspension's bloody awful, the brakes are non-existent and it vibrates like a rampant rabbit on acid........ but there's something about it that's kinda nice! It's good fun and very relaxing to ride - just got to remember it's not a modern sports bike.
It's got a tremendous amount of torque (like I'm telling you guys this - duh!) and a wicked vibe sets in at around 3000 rpm so you have to avoid that at all costs - if you want to keep the fillings in your teeth. I think we're gonna get along just fine - I like it........a lot! Can't wait to get it "run in".
