Heritage Softail with one pannier?

[martybabe]

Just a quickie, I was on the forgotten highway today and a bike loomed large in my mirror so I called him past cause I was just cruisin n chillin.

Turned out to be a heritage softail two up with one pannier full screen,redy blacky type colour. Hands up if ya think this is another moan about someone else's ridding thread. :bleh:

Wrong, if your reading this dude you have my admiration and respect, I have never seen such a massive low slung beast wielded so well round such tight twisties (the pukekeho saddle?), hats off to ya sir.:msn-wink:

And to all those silly peeps that come on the cruiser forum and berate this type of cicle as slow and corner phobic, I nominate this gentleman/lady, to give ya a lesson in how well it can be done, it would open a few eyes.

Quick and smooth hunny, quick and smooth.:niceone:

Its a wonder he wasnt throwing bits of tar seal at you as his foot boards hit the ground:shit:.You can get them round corners at a good pace if you set your mind to it but it can be hard work.:woohoo:

No, no noise no grounding ,no sparks. I used to own one and there's no way I could handle it like that. I was watching his foot boards intently waiting for the inevitable, a fraction off every time. The man knew his bike ,and the road I'm guessing. Impressive ,just nice to see a bike well ridden. :clap:

It is a pleasure to watch it being done well eh?
I followed a guy a few years back along a nice piece of twisty road up north, he was perfect on every corner and soon had me working to keep up. He was riding a Fatboy I think.
