You’re right there. It means you can get both feet out wide and firmly on the ground. They carry their (excessive) weight low down too, so they really don’t feel as heavy as they are.Other nice thing about Harleys is for the most part a short guy can get both feet on the ground at stop lights. The seats are usually low and comfortable. I'm sure there are exceptions to that, but I don't need to know which models don't have low seats. That is less important to me than being politically correct all the time.
Too bad about the stock shocks. Nothing is more annoying than a hard ass end. Opps, I mean a hard riding rear suspension. Makes my neck hurt.
Hmmmm… shocks that perform well do not (in fact should not) need to be overly stiff. The whole idea is to control the wheels movement over bumps and dips.
If you are referring to my earlier comment, that had nothing remotely to do with politics.Other nice thing about Harleys is for the most part a short guy can get both feet on the ground at stop lights.

I was referring to the stock shocks on your Harley you said were too short and stiff, not the ones you ended up putting on there, or my suspension. I have experienced stiff shocks riding motorcycles for over 59 years. A stiff ride was all I was referring to. If that is not what you meant when you said the shocks were too short, I must have misinterpreted it. I understand suspension hard as that may be to believe.
Ahh, my bad!
Do you type with your tongue? That is special. It's over when I say it's over, damn it. Kidding I couldn't care less about it, and will refrain from getting out of my lane after this reprimand. Unlike a lot of other people that don't seem to be able to do.
Well, this thread is about being old dinosaurs
I love the "Yamaha Midnight Special" motif.
