moving from a Wide Glide to a Street Glide is the best move I’ve ever made! you look natural on that RG! I am short as well, at 5’ 8” if I wear Vans when I ride, lol it’s a challenge backing out of inclines, you just have to be careful when coming to stops, these big touring monsters will fold up on you if you grab too much brake with the bars turned.
I’m a short dude with a Road Glide ST! I’m 5’6 and ride a 22 RG ST and have dealt with this for a bit! You definitely got it! I’ll have to make a video on my channel for us short kings haha! Great video! Loved it!
Hi Heather, I am 5'6", 145 lbs, 68 years old, with a 29" inseam. I am on my 3rd bagger since 2001, a 2014 Street Glide Special. On all 3 bikes I put a 1" lowering kit on the rear. It makes it much easier for the slow speed and parking. I am flat footed with a bend in my knee when at a stop. It's not just a touring bike, I ride it every day in the city and it's fine. There a tons of used rushmore bikes both Street Glides and Road Glides. If you want to keep the FXLRS find a nice used one. I prefer the SGS because the fairing is a lot closer so I would at least ride a SGS before you decide. Best of luck to you.
Definitely going to try a few first - thanks for the advice!
Go test ride the Road King Special that is the bike for you and learn how to love the heal shiftier. Love the channel
And, for an even better heel shifter experience, install the $39.95 shorty heel shifter peg from Thrashin Supply Co. I heel shift mine 90% of the time with the arch of my foot in instead of the heel of my boot. Then you don’t need to reach all the way forward to operate the toe shifter all of the time.
Agreed.
I surely miss the heel shifter on my current bike.
That's what I did. Test rode the RKS and fell in love, traded my '20 Low Rider S in on it.
@@RB-tx4mn Love the RKS as well. But the stock suspension has got to go! Do you have any aftermarket suspension upgrades on your RKS? One of my favorite rear shocks is RS-1 from Russ Wernimont Designs.
Her Two Wheels just purchased a 2018 Harley Road Glide and she absolutely loves it. I haven't tested ride one yet, but I want to after watching yours and Her Two Wheels talk about how nice of a bike it is.
First it was queen sit, than its her two wheels, and now you. Happy for you gals loving the Harley’s. I always said chicks dig the road glide more than the street glide.
Welcome to Road glide heaven Heather. I wouldn’t trade mine for anything.
Amen!
You'll love the comforts of any bagger for the trips.. Keep your bike for around town. Nothing better than a garage full of the things you love.
Oh can't wait to see the two of you working in the shop together. It was a riot
oh no..first Her Two Wheels now MotoBlonde the infection is spreading lol
😂
You did awesome! Feel like you nailed the differences. I Went from a super glide to a street glide. The only thing I miss is the instant acceleration.
Good to see Anthony back on the road! Welcome to touring Heather! 😂😂😂😂. Nothing like it. Hard to go back.
Hey Moto your motors are balanced different that's why Anthony's feels smoother. Good to see Anthony back in the saddle. Good stuff chic . God Bless
Like Adam Sandoval says”Life is short-buy the damn motorcycle “😎😎
🙌
@@markjaycox8811 Envious much?
My neighbor let me ride his Road Glide before and I friggen loved it too!
Floorboards kick ass, the stereo, and yes they are so much smoother than the regular bikes.
I never wanted to get off the bike.
I don’t blame you, I didn’t either!
I had a 2013 ultra and was debating between a low rider s and a road glide. Ended up on the road glide and it’s awesome. That fairing gives you a bit of air with a real smooth ride. Better than batwing
Lift the Foot Board up when lifing the Jiffy stand. Makes it a lot easier for short legs
Brought home my new Street Glide Special today. I’m only 5’2” tall and have a Legends Air Ride Suspension system on the bike. 2nd bike I’ve done it on and it makes the big bikes easy to ride!
Awesome! I was thinking about something like that! When you added the suspension did it change the ride at all?
@@MotoBlonde you lower it when you know you have to put your feet down and then you raise it up for the highway and it is very smooth. I love it!! You should check into it. They are great people at Legends.
Zippers Performance sells the Thundermax iRide adjustable air suspension. It has the automatic stoplight adjustment feature similar to the new suspension on the H-D Pan America.
The quickest and cheapest solution would be a set of RWD or Legends 12” rear shocks that would still give you a great ride with decent suspension travel.
A lot of CZcams superstars seem to get vendor sponsors for their performance upgrades that prompt us civilians to buy our motorcycle parts after watching the CZcamsr reviews.
@@briandickter2724 I looked into that suspension for my low rider, but they didn’t make it for softails. I’ll definitely check them out!
I don’t care what you do, but whatever it is just keep laughing. You have the cutest giggle 😆😘😘
I’m a lil guy and ride a 2011 Streetglide
Just did a 2400 mile trip to Maryland
62000 plus miles on it now
Love the touring models
Great job on the Road Glide! You'll be a bagger sis in no time! I just bought an Electra Glide and I love it. I kept saying, it's so smooth, too. I'll never go back to anything else. Stay safe!
Both bikes are awesome. Welcome back Anthony. 😎👍
I love my Road Glide Special, once you go shark nose you never go back!!
Just starting watching your videos. Your the only channel that I follow that rides a cruiser bike.
Thanks for being here!
Love my Roadglide and being 5’6” I understand the height thing. You’re just going to have to think about things a little more. Like when you pull into someplace take a look and park in the easiest way to get out. Better to walk a little further than struggle backing out of someplace. I mean the real answer is two bikes but if you can only have one, Roadglide is definitely worth the extra little struggles
I like the real answer best haha!! Thanks for watching!
Happy to hear Anthony is back! And good on ya for trying another bike. I thought you bought that your IG post. 😂 I hope you get one Heather! Eric
good to see Mr Anthony back.... glad he is well and better.... as for getting a bagger.....JUST DO IT..... life is to "short" (no pun intended).... enjoy life today...live in the moment..... !!!!!
Try the Heritage you may like it.
Great video! This place is wonderful, many green areas and lakes! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
NY is beautiful!
Love it. I have an FXLRS and yet I love a bagger. My first bike was a 97 Electraglide. Laid that one down because a lady pulled out in front of me. I want my bagger back.
“I don’t know if this is a putz around town bike for me” is why I sold mine. It’s a beautiful bike and the road trips I took on mine were more comfortable than I can really express. Glad you enjoyed it.
Riding a little bike around town whatever that means you will have to be on a highway at some point genius feels like riding a mo ped you don't know what you're talking about dowght if you ride save the advice Mr. "Long trips"
@@streetglideyp2375 lol k
I love the heal shifter on my 2016 Ultra Limited!
Thanks for the ride along and video on the short glide 😃😃🇺🇸🇺🇸
Test ride a Road King Special. You will love it!
Good to see Anthony again
I am 5’5” and I ride a road glide and I love it you should get one you won’t regret it.
I understand. Never thought I'd get rid of my wide glide. Just picked up my second rgs. I think some of the best times are in the middle of nowhere jamming to my favorite song like a dork. New sub. Keep it up. 👍
Sounds perfect! Thanks for watching!
You go girl! I'm a short dude looking to get into a bagger, thanks for the inspiration.
You should check out the sport guide it's an awesome bike and about the same as what you're writing only with bags and a Fairing that are all quick detach
glad to see hubby is back. i've rode 600cc sports bikes my whole life but i love my lowrider s. my first Harley ever. but i'm 58 now so this fits me. I've had to eat some crow but thats all good. love you guys
Thanks for watching!!
I test drove both the road glide special and the street glide special this morning. I'm trading in my Low Rider S because I want a bagger. I was convinced that I was going to like the SG all the way, after riding the SG then the RG my mind changed immediately. I did not want to get off the road glide!! Now I'm wanting a RG. What an awesome bike!!!
Congrats!!!!
I just bought a 2021 Billiard Red & Black RGS. I love it.
Congrats!
The giggles and smiles tells me that you are going to get one. ;)
THANK YOU FOR THESE TIPS!
I think a Heritage would be a better fit for your size. A little bit lighter that a Road Glide but still a bagger.
Nice job on the RG. Try the Street Glide. They also make a lowing kit for Harley's you can lower from 1"or 2" inches. One inch would be as low as I would go so you still have some lean to it. New seat also.
Moto Blonde, Way to go riding Anthony’s Road Glide. Nice job. You look right at home on it. #MBNATION
The road glide fits you perfect!!
👍👍👍 great bikes
Well I don't blame you, that is why I have the RGS and Low rider S love them!
Sounds like the perfect garage!
I traded my low s I bought in January for the RG love it when you get used to it riding around town is great you will not want to waste your time on a small bike anymore lol the low s was great concept not so much if you want to lay down the miles. Just do it you are ready
I think you should get a Road Glide if you want one. I have a female friend that is 5ft 1inch tall and she rides a Road Glide Ultra. Go for it little lady! Be safe and take care!
That’s awesome!
Nothing like the touring range!
I had a Road King Special now on a CVO Streetglide just LOVE the baggers!
New sub here can wait to catch up on your channel!
Thanks for being here! You are right - there's nothing like them!
You could change shocks and lower one for ya and the highway pegs have extensions to help with reach 😎😎
Road glide is king, just do it your Subconscience has made up its mind
It feels like it has 🤣
I have a 2021 Road Glide special. Got a low profile seat so I can plant my feet on the ground. I started with a sportster, then soft tail. Had a ninja. I tried a street glide, a heritage. I LOVE my road glide. I am spoiled now. When I ride the soft tail, I feel like it's a hoopty now. 🤣 The vibration, bumpy not as smooth.
Oh gosh sounds like we had the same story coming to a road glide!! I feel the same way about the hoopty LOL!
I'm looking at you guys riding these beautiful machines feeling so jealous pretty soon. I'll be on one of those..yeeeeees
Outstanding job keep it up 👍
Harley Reduced Reach Seat/Legend 12” Revo A’s in the rear / Legend Axeo Short in the front and you’ll be great on a Glide.
That’s a great looking bike.
Exactly what I was thinking
Yay that's awesome you got the road glide for a spin 🏍️🔥👍 I can see u upgrading to one of those down the track 😀 Yep you need to make sure you always back it in when parking so you can ride it out due to the weight. Ps be hard to get back on your bike. The water view at lunch was great 🖼️
Hahahaha love the video, go for it! The street glide low I think.
Oh no!!!! You did same thing I did! Once I tried the RG that was it for me!! Traded my 2016 StreetGlide in for a 2021 RoadGlide Special! It was a beauty ride! Your exact words were mine!!
As for backing up we always think of our exit when parking and do what is easiest!!!
I don’t miss the weight of the batwing I really love the way the RG handles!
Good Luck with your choice!!!
We thought it was flat, but the gravel got me 🤣🤣 man I can’t get over that bike - I’m in trouble!
@@MotoBlonde LOL no no You were fine, I was thinking about when you stated while riding the RG how you would back up etc.
I LOVE my RG I wish I wouldn't have spent so much on my Streetglide, I do not miss the weight of the batwing at all. RG is the dream machine.
Oh definitely not on the road glide lol!!
@@MotoBlonde LOL No kidding lol I hear ya.
In the words of another well known Moto Vlogger "Life is short....Buy the Damn Bike"
Regards from Manchester , England
Try a Heritage Classic.
Agreed! We only live once .
Omg I am the same when backing up my bike tooooooo!!! Lmao.
No doubt the RG is a great ride, but I never really got into the dash layout. I stick to bat wings just because of that.
That’s such a nice bike for sure. It should be considering the price! Lol!
HD = Hundreds of dollars
Hey! Thanks for the chance to do a little Rail Fanning, as well as watch you on the bikes.
I road the road glide special 2 weeks ago, I can’t get it outta my head either. Already looking at finances to make it work , haha. Ride safe
Haha I know that feeling, same here!!
Look at the Sport Glide! You get the M8 engine and bags and it weighs 200 lbs less than the RG. I think that would be a great compromise for an around town/ distance bike.
Sounds like someone's getting a new motorcycle 😁😁🤘🤘
Ride the Street Glide!
By the way, great to see Anthony
On a big bike you always park to pull out backing in especially any type incline. 😎😎
Oh for sure! It looked pretty flat, but with the gravel and my stumpy legs it made it a little harder than it seemed haha!
Looks so fun ❤️ wish I could join you!
SHARKNATION!!!!! Street Glides are a close second. Stick with the best!
Stay where you are..... PLEASE, there are enough channels on Baggers and i'm here for the Low Riders and Dynas. Now you're thinking on deserting me 😒!!
Dyna gang 🤙🏼🤙🏼
I don't want to trade it I want both 😭🤣 Trying to figure out how to win the lottery haha!
You know your gonna get one!
Heather, your Lowrider is a hot rod compared to the RG. My RK is kinda too big for around town and I would like to ge around town with.
I was planning on getting a 48 about 5 years ago and I was at a bike show here in Vegas and got to ride a 48, a slim and maybe a road king and totally couldn’t go back to the sporty lol. It spoils you.
Definitely spoils you!
Wow. So tempting.
If you like the Roadglide you should also ride the Indian Challenger and Chieftain both a very manageable for smaller riders.
Buy it!!!! Cheers from upstate NY!
Check out a Dyna Switchback, if you want a bagger that will fit, floorboards, hard bags,
Liked & Subscribed, great Vlog, you are so inspiring & fearless. Road Glides are so worth the little challenges, ride safe, look forward to all your content, Aloha from Hawaii, Kenneth
Thank you!
She started talking about putting a lowering kit on his bike and he said we’re pulling over here 😂😂😂
They are comfy bikes. If you get one get a reach seat.
Ultra Ltd Low... try it!
You need a road glide
With the Roadglide you learn to read to parking lot quick so kno to back or pull in
I'll suggest to test ride the road king special. It's what I have great bike.
I love that "the short glide" LOL
Man I really like those road glides! I think it’s probably my next bike, but hopefully I can keep my low rider s too.
If only I could have one of every bike 🤣🙌
@@MotoBlonde 😫 I know… maybe someday! Hopefully soon!
If you like the roadglide you should give the Indian Challenger a try. I was looking at a road glide until I took the Indian for a spin. 100% a better bike in just every way. Now the road glide just feels silly.
First bagger I rode was Yamaha's version the Star Eluder. I was nervous at first, but ended up loving it. I want a RGS. One more thing. Buy the damn motorcycle.
Yap, your headed to Road Glide paradise, welcome home!
Lol between SG and RG once you pass th we fearing RG is a more smoother ride 😁
Love your channel ❤💕 I ride a sports glide...my hubby have a road glide and I have been wanting to ride his bike but been scare but seeing you 😉 omg I want to ride his bike...!!!
Hey those turn how was it? Is it lite when you ride it??? I am short too. .. thank you so much for sharing ❤love u sis!
Thanks for being here!! So riding it was the easy part - it was SO well balanced I wasn't nervous at all riding it. The part I'll have to pay attention to is slow stuff. It really was so easy to ride! If you can go out with him like we did and switch somewhere where you can go at your own pace without traffic etc!
First, I’m very proud of you. Second, for 200 bucks you can leave everything the same but you put in shorter metal pieces to bring the brake and shifter closer to you with no other changes. I wanted to suggest a road glide to you when you complained your low rider still wasn’t quite scrunched in enough.
Thank you! Sounds like something I would need!
Now try a Limited!!
You looked amazing on that bagger great bike if you get one? Just do some extra training and slow speed riding on it love from uk 🇬🇧 x
OMG!!! You inspired me so much! I also have a 2020 FXLRS and I'm 5'2 (on a good day...hahaha) and never thought I would go bigger than what I have because of my short legs. How long have you been riding?
Hey!!! I’ve had my license for 10ish years, but never rode a lot u til the last maybe 3 years.
Once you’ve ridden the Shark you’ll never ride another bike the same … you have been indoctrinated … Welcome to Shark Nation!
Harley's have a lot of great bikes to ride but...... so do others Indian for example or Honda if you don't mind a bike built else where. LOL I have a 2014 Victory Vision ( the other American motorcycle that they don't make any more and a 2003 Harley Vrod that they don't make any more ) Lol ones for fun and the other is for cruising and what a difference between the two. What ever you ride have fun and stay safe out there.
Buy an ultra Ltd wick quick release tour pac and you can go ultra to street glide in seconds.
