I sold my Harley Davidson FXDR & bought a Street Glide

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

As much as I loved my Harley Davidson FXDR, I had to sell it. I need something I can travel long distances on with storage. The FXDR was bad ass, but I couldn't even carry a pair of shades & a hat. If I got hot & wanted to remove some clothing, I had nowhere to put that. Now I need a Club bike that can travel the UK & Europe. So I went for a Harley Davidson Street Glide Special. I love it already.

    I used the train in early October to get up to northern France for a couple of days then caught the Eurostar to London to spend a few days with my children. It was a great way to travel. Cruising at 300 kph and not having to worry about the traffic around Paris or whether I was OK for ULEZ just added to the attraction.

    Thanks. Yes Keis heated Gillette & gloves. The heated Gillette is shown in a video on here where I go to Millau. The end of year getaway I think its called. The Gillette is the difference of making it to a destination in the cold or NOT making it. Its an absolute game changer as they say. I didn't want the jacket at tge time as I thought the sleeves would restrict my arm movement. Not sure if I should of got the jacket or not. Tbh the Gillette is pretty perfect. Not restrictive at all & really effective. I have Keis heated inner gloves too. I'm not sure if they were actually better. I remember feeling like my hands were actually warm in those. Inside my Halversons gloves, which I now hate & don't wear. The inner linings come out when you take your hands out. The Keis heated gloves are very good winter gloves without even plugging them in. When you do plug them in. You don't really feel the warmth. However! You don't get cold hands. So that's a win. I ride yesterday with all this stuff on at 70mph(obviously) at -3c & I didn't get a cold body or hands. My feet were also warm in the new socks I showed on Facebook. Gold top I think they are called. The Halversons gloves are what I hate now. Just to be clear. The inner Keis gloves are awesome.

That will add numbers as more gets added to it I guess. The Club I'm now Prospecting for has many many Chapters & as a Club you travel to the other chapters & to other Clubs events including Bike Shows or events. Some of these are also in Europe. Yes I've been travelling & will quite often be ooop Norf. If I'm over your way I'd definitely be up for food. My email is in the links or message me on Facebook or Instagram 👍.
