Actually It's the complete opposite with me!! I ride with mostly harleys, ( I also own an Electra Glide ) and have a Rocket Roadster. I constantly tell those guys if you ever rode my Triumph you would set that Hog on fire! They just look at me. Sure Harleys look nice, and sound good too, but my Roadster is a blast to ride. I like my Harley on very cold days since the full fairing blocks my hands and body and the lower covers block my legs. The stereo helps on those long interstste rides.
