Yeah Meg! The Harley touring line is heavy, but remember size and strength does not matter. It’s all technique! You did great! Very nice demo ride! Thank you for taking us along. 😊
I'm 5'4". 28 inch inseam. Love the Road Glide. They make mid controls. There are fairing lowerring brackets so that I can see over the fairing. Changing the seat. Custom, propably Saddlemans, for reduced reach. Then I'm doing full suspension upgrade. This is what i'm doing to mine.
The E/Glide and the Road King you rode in my class both had H.D.'s reach seat. That seat puts you closer to the bars and closer to the ground. That's the only difference between the bikes you rode in this video.
Thank you Jerry! It certainly made it much easier to reach the controls. I still liked the Electra Glide best- it felt the most comfortable size wise. Are either of those bikes lowered?
@@megsmotorcyclejourney NO. Never lower a bike. It ruins the ride and severely limits the lean angle. Watch this link all about seats for the vertically challenged th-cam.com/video/KWakHYrNKeI/w-d-xo.html
@@motorman857 I was going to say Jerry Palladio says...I recently watched the don’t lower your bike video. I made that mistake on my ‘94 Softail. I’m 6’2” so I didn’t need to do it. I will being bringing it back up soon.
I own a 2020 Road Glide Special. I recommend changing out the seat for a saddleman gel seat, which will lower your stance and improve comfort. I also strongly recommend swapping the rear shocks with 13" LEGEND REVO-A rear shocks, and add a screaming eagle stage 1 kit. I added LED blinkers front & back, and HD rear bag break lights. I also did a HD stage 2 torque cam upgrade.
@@megsmotorcyclejourney The seat I brought was the 2008-2020 FLHR, FLHX, & FLTR Profiler LS seat touring model. It was hand made $484.02 total. The LEGEND REVO-A shocks were close to $1000, but they are worth every penny. The install is easy if you have a bike lift. Harbor freight sells a great bike lift the Pittsburg sku 63397 $180. These two upgrades made riding my RGS perfect for comfort. Saddlemen makes the best motorcycle seats that you can buy.
Meg, my first bike after a 30 year hiatus _( bought it last month )_ is a 2019 Road King, which I love riding and have ridden 1500 miles. That said, I would like some more wind protection for cold weather riding. I can't imagine selling my Road King because of the naked-bike experience, so I would likely add a Road Glide or Ultra to the fleet this coming winter. I started watching your video series when you were at Jerry's in FLA, which sparked my interest in riding again. Best thing I have done in many years! I practice in the parking lot on a weekly basis and will ride down to GA to work out with Robert Simmons *_Paying It Forward_* very soon. Best wishes.
The reach seat is a must for short riders. I am 5'5" and ride a 2018 Road Glide special with 13-inch Legend Revo A shocks but use an ultra limited low seat and love it.
Hey Meg and Camera Man, great video, loved it. Be safe on your trip next week. We are going down from KY to FL the 19 of March for a 9 day trip, like you we love to ride.
Hey Meg I could use some advice. I have a Sportster Custom with a HD quick release windscreen. It has Lexan brand glass. Anyway, not sure if its from condensation or the cover blowing in the wind but along the top edge it has some slight cloudiness forming. Thought with your detail experience you could tell me the easiest way to try to clean it up before it gets worse. Was thinking maybe Meguires Plast-X.... what would you guys try?
Great video. This is my dealership as well. I live in Columbia. I enjoy your videos because your rides are pretty much the places I ride...Over the years, I have purchased 3 Harley's from Old Glory HD. My last purchase was in 2017 and it was a choice between the Street Glide Special and the Road Glide Special...I did the same test route you did switching back and forth and I ended deciding on the Road Glide Special....I love it and don't regret the decision... Thanks for your channel and videos. I really enjoyed your video of the "haunted ski slope".. I am very familiar with that area as my daughter used to live in Butler....and we used to hike frequently at Oregon Ridge Park....I still love to ride in that area, and I know exactly where Cal's estate was...Also in that area was another famous Oriole, Mike Flannigan lived... Again, love your videos and channel, because I ride those same roads. I am also a huge fan of Motorman...Keep up the good work!
@@megsmotorcyclejourney I absolutely agree that you should stick with the bike you are comfortable with, etc. I started with a Dyna Super Glide Custom...then a Softail Deuce....but I had spinal fusion surgery (ran way too many back to back marathons, etc.), so I went to a touring bike for my back....and it was a good decision, although I miss the looks of my Deuce...but it's all about comfort.....especially at my age (68).
I must agree Meg ,my dyna low rider fits me like a glove, if I take the plunge it will be the ultra limited in Deadwood green, thanks again for taking us along for the ride, be well my friend
My Road Glide Ultra took a little to get use to it seems top heavy to me. If your planning to come to Daytona it's pollen season everything turning yellow hope you don't have allergies. It's bad here in Jacksonville I'm about 87 miles north of Daytona. Awesome video from the beautiful Meg.
great video....I have 19 street glide special....the street glides are about 1 inch lower and have stiffer suspension than road glide...there also are alot of modifications that can be done too both....nice to see an intelligent woman riding....keep up the good work.
I went from a Softail Deuce to a Street Glide , I only have a 29" inseam so I understand. I've modified my stock seat ( Mean City Cycles ) with the super narrow mod , also have Low Down Mustang seat , both helped. It probably took me a whole riding season to be as comfortable on my Street Glide as I was on my Softail , 6 years and I still love my SG , you get used to them.
@@megsmotorcyclejourney waiting patiently lol Meg at first i thought you were going to take a test drive with your dress on ! My hart was pounding lmao you are gorgeous girl such a amazing lady! ❤😘
Hi Meg. I bought a 2020 Street Glide and had to get a narrower seat so my feet stayed flat on the pavement. I truly love it. It's the bike foe me. And again great video..Enjoy Fla.
Great video. I wondered about the Road Glide with the fixed fairing. Good info there, thanks. I’m thinking of a new bike. I’ve had my Heritage Nostalgia since new in 1994.
Another great video Meg. Hard choice but road king for me. Nothing like having a favourite too the low rider looks awesome. Cameraman does an amazing job I have to agree with the last comment. Ride safe you guys.
Hi Megan I've had 3 street glides and I bought new a 17 road glide special .in my opinion the road glide having a frame mounted faring cuts the wind easier.by that I noticed on the highway or cornering at high speeds the handle bar fairing on the street glide will wobble some.but its still nice .the road glide frame mount is more stable in high speeds and wind. I like them both. As far as you sitting far forward and having trouble moving around the bike.the seat can be cut down on the sides letting your knees and thighs to be closer to the tank.this let's your legs or feet get more flat footed. Jerry has a video on this suggestion. Plus the back of certain seats can keep you more forward. For better control. Lowering the bike can alter the handling and ride .I've seen women your size riding both bikes.some even have big rubber heals on their boots.good video.just my experience with the two bikes. For what it's worth.Rich
Hi Megan I meant to thank you for your thoughtful response thank you!! You and the cameraman are like a fun weekly TV series.keep up your fun content nice !!!
I am a Street Glide owner. The Road Glide faring seem too big and the Street Glide offered better wind protection for the hands, easier view of gauges (I wear a modular helmet), and sportier riding position. Also, you can attach adjustable wind deflectors to blow more air on you on hot days or deflect it off on cold days. No matter which you both end up getting, get the adjustable rider’s backrest. Trust me, you will love having it.
@@megsmotorcyclejourney Something to consider before spending $20+k on another bike is to find an HD dealer that will allow you to rent the model you wish to purchase for a weekend. That way you can ride it at highway speeds, and longer distances. Plus, you can see if you like the storage capacity too. I wish I rented one before I purchased my SG. I did not realize the wind buffeting I would get with the Street Glide's low windshield. Keep in mind that I wear a modular helmet too. I do not have any experience with the Road Glide. However, keep in mind that the Road King and Heritage Softail both have removable windshields for hot, summer riding. Just some advice you and Cameraman can think it over.. Also, the HD GPS (least got the 2018 model ) is not good. I heard they made improvements, but have the HD dealer demo how to use that before you purchase. I had resorted to use google maps on occasions. Enjoy your Daytona trip and stay safe..
I own a Street Glide and love it.. You looked amazing on both bikes.. Foxy as ever Meg! Two thumbs up for the camera guy, you must have a camera in your eyes balls. LOL
I live in Old Town, Alexandria....you're right...the traffic in the DMV does suck...Will be looking out for you around the DMV. I ride an Indian Challenger Dark Horse. I have been to that Harley Dealership a couple of times as well. Great staff there
Road glide or street glide- its a personal preference. Mine is the road glide! It's my ride or die. Less buffering on the faring at highway speeds. But I did go with the chieftain when I bought my Indian just to mix it up. So I know both types of fairings and brands. Pro and cons to all. You have to be comfortable whatever you choose. Happy riding!
@@megsmotorcyclejourney Some die hard may hate me for this but have you tried a new Indian? Specifically the chieftain or challenger. You may be surprised.
I owned a 2018 Street Glide and I never could seem to get comfortable on it. I’m 6’3” with long limbs and nothing I did (seat, bars, etc) gave me a level of comfort for any period of time in the saddle. Always felt like I was trying to back away from the fairing. I test rode a Road Glide one afternoon just killing time and purchased my 2019 FLTRXS that afternoon. It was fairly comfortable with the stock bars but I opted to go with 14” Factory 47’s and it fits me like a glove. One of the things I noticed immediately was how stable the Road Glide is at very low speeds vs the Street Glide, which in my head the fixed fairing on the RG makes it more stable as you’re not constantly battling the weight of the fairing moving like you do on the SG. It’s a totally different ride in my opinion and the RG fits my riding style better. Maybe it’s got something to do with all of the years I spent on the MX track and having that desire to be farther back over the rear wheel, hell I dunno. You guys are certainly going about the purchase the right way and riding lots of bikes to make sure you both can agree. Any way you go, there is no wrong choice so long as you get what you feel most comfortable on. Keep up the great vids and quality content !
I had my Hi Viz vest on today, low glare sunlight ,people driving cars not wearing sunglasses.Love the Baggers,I’ll stick with my Streetbob for the moment, my fave is the Heritage,Sportglide also is interesting.
I test road everything from a Sportster to an Ultra when I was shopping for a new bike. the Street Glide just fit me best. I still go to my favorite shop and test ride. the sales staff love me because they get out of the shop for a little bit. Have fun in Daytona. Ride safe.
Okay, I’ll admit it. I am a shameless fanboy of the Heritage Softail. At 5’9” with a 29” inseam they just work great for me. I have owned 4 big bikes also but none of them ever gave me the pure enjoyment of riding like the Heritage. Currently I have 2 Heritage Softails. A 2010 and a 2020 with the 114. I would highly encourage a test ride on a Heritage before making any decisions.
Look at the i-Ride system by ThunderMax. One of the Harley stores here in San Diego told me about this. Now if you try the Heritage you can do a two into one and put the bigger bags from the RG or SG on it. That’s what my wife is doing.
The biggest difference is when you pass a truck with the road glide the whole bike moves. The bat wing the handle bars will move when going by a truck.
We have what is basically a road glide group here in Md -8-9 of us and growing . We all rode together before but have all switched to the Road glides We average around 20-25k miles a year. Im 5'4 and ride a 17 Rg Ultra - Seat mod for 150 bucks will have you fitting like a glove.
Road Glides are great for long rides. Got to get used to the fairing not turning with the bars, you get over that in a short amount of time. Just get two different seats for whoever is riding it that day. Getting the controls in a neutral position will help.
It is good to try other bikes, it often helps you figure out things to do to your own and it makes you a better rider too. I love my Road King. Still very much in the grip of winter here in the North East so it is nice to see you out riding. You are awesome keep it up and Ride Safe!
yes you can easily adjust a big touring bike to fit you by lowering the suspension and also you could get a different seat that is cut different to lower youself on the bike, im 6'2 and most bikes are built for someone at least 6 foot, if you are taller or shorter than that, you are gonna have to make some adjustmens to the bike to fit ya, but thats the fun in it, you get to make it yours
It's all personal preference whether you like frame or fork mounted fairing. You can't go wrong with either. I'm a Road King guy. At 5'4" 160#, I just prefer the greater front visibility of just a windshield. All 3 are identical bikes. Enjoy the ride and be safe!
(Ron here)- Great video Meg! Looked like you really owned that road glide !! There are many options to get your feet on the ground. I’ve written to many people about mean city cycles out of North Carolina. They have a lot of different modifications to get you lower by removing foam out of the seat and rescuplting with memory foam. Check out there many options. Dig that Road Glide!! 😎
Unless you have to have the noise of loud pipes the most comfortable ride ,thats adjustable from the seat ,has plenty of power smooth and very well balanced, try a Goldwing. Iron but challenge is not a problem on one.
Pretty sure I saw you ride by me today. That custom color is even nicer in person. Glad we've had a couple of warm days. My first day out for two weeks. Unfortunately I could only squeeze an hour of riding in between virtual meetings.
The road glide is a frame mounted fairing vs street glide is a fork mounted fairing and the is around 850 lbs and street glide is around 800 lbs. So power is better on the street glide but the road glide ride is nicer because of the frame mounted fairing. Harley makes a super reduced reach seat it will lower you about 1.5 inches and move you forward about 2.5 inches check with Jerry ( Ride like a pro ) now if the bikes are 2021 they switch back to a cable clutch from hydraulic so buy a seat for you and cameraman can use the stock seat. Yes 👍 I am a road glide guy and I still love my softail sport glide with a stage 2. Good luck
Hi Megan, it was lovely to accompany you on this trip, and you give some good analysis from these test rides. I would just add, that whatever bike you test ride, can never feel as comfortable as the bike you have owned for a time, as everything will feel strange for quite a while. I really enjoyed coming along.
I prefer the road glide, if im not mistaken the street and road share the same frame but the major difference is in the fairing- fork vs frame mounted. I ride a 17 RGS so I can't comment on the newer ones, im holding out for a new one when they change the frame! 12 street bob in the garage too but really want the low rider s(miss my old dyna) and now of course the Pan America, christ im gonna be broke forever.
Hey Meg, I currently own a Street Glide and really do love it. I do agree with you thou the handle bar fairing on the Road Glide is the way to go. Alot more stable and you will have no problem getting a feel for it. And most importantly the Levi's looked ALOT better on the Road Glide. Ride Safe and good luck with your decision.
Those bikes have a cable clutch verse the hydraulic clutch on your lowrider S. Both have different feel. I love my Road King, touring bike but still has a classic look, no electronics, I'm OK n those all day ! Nice video.
Great job Meg! For me seems like the bigger touring bikes at times are easier to ride! Although they are all fun to ride just learning their personality! :) luv ya girl !
@@megsmotorcyclejourney There is a very nice Switchback available in my neck of the woods (Darlington, MD - Harford County; virtually at the edge of the Conowingo Dam). Would you like to PM me at [FB] Lowell Tackett? Edit: I am 5'8" with a 31" inseam; when I straddle my Switchback both feet are flat on the ground and I completely clear the seat.
Both are nice I just like the looks of the street glide ultra looking at a 2021 I can't wait to get back out ridding here in upstate NY just to cold and the roads are nasty
Yay, you liked the Road Glide better. I’ve ridden both and I think the Road Glide cuts the wind better. I also think the fixed fairing takes a little getting used to in slow maneuvers. Ride safe. 🤘
I have the 20201\2 cvo roadglide my second roadglide just something about the roadglide for me guess that's why they build both the streetglide and roadglide
Hey you look pretty good on them bikes Meg. You mentioned having to drive around the building twice, how much paperwork did you needed to fill out? To test drive a bike.
I came to the same Road Glide vs Street Glide conclusion as you and cameraman. I had EVERY intention of trading in my Solftail Heritage Classic on a Street Glide Special. I was shocked that the Street Glide Special ride was so harsh and the wind protection was terrible. I ended up with a 2020 Road Glide Limited. Not having the weight of the fairing on the forks is noticeable at slow-speed maneuvers. I highly recommend you change the clutch and brake levers to reduced reach Softbrake levers and the brake pedal to an extended Softbrake brake pedal. I preferred the look of the batwing fairing, but I doubt I'll ever own one after now having ridden and owning a Shark Nose bike. Another thing to know, a large phone will NOT fit in the batwing. I have a Google Pixel 3XL and it fits fine in the compartment on the Road Glide. I'd have to mount it on the handlebars of a Street Glide. That was a big deal for me, as well.
I have owned a Street glide and Currently own a Road Glide. I prefer the Road glide over the street glide. The handling at low and Hi speeds are better with the Road Glide. Enjoy your journey with the purchase of your new Bike.
Great bike videos 🏍️👍 I do prefer the road glide with the shark front look, but the street glide is cool too. Always fun to go test riding new bikes. Great u got your own bike back & the new bars should make it much nicer now to ride 😀
Wow!!! Not once did you have to rest your arm for your shoulder! I think ( I said this before when you rode with Jerry) that the SG is your ride!!! Good posture and you look bad ass!! I get the smaller bike I loved my softail too when I was new rider spent all sorts of money making it fit me!!! Glad you tried out the touring models!!!
Funny thing is the Road Glide and Street Glide are the same bike only difference is the fairings.I own a 2019 Street Glide and I've ridden the Road Glide and the Road Glides fairing puts all the gauges and touch screen at a different angle and further away from the rider. I could'nt get used to the fairing on the Road Glide plus I dig the classic Batwing look.
Hi Meg, one Harley-Davidson many forget about is the Electra-Glide Standard. It’s a nice bike If you are looking to add stuff to it over time. I hope H-D is still building this bike for 2021 because it’s a good value I think.
Florida Hugh here street glides any one change seats easy to do for changing riders street glides seem to be bit lower love my street glides great storage get a sissy bar strap stuff to seat and sissy bar you can carry a lot and the street glides likes having a lot of weight makes it ride great . Street glides don't mess around with the others . I have owned them all have fun
If you guys go with a touring bike, have you considered a backrest for yourself? They tend to push the rider forward more, might help with the forward controls and is removable for others. Anyways another great video, we appreciate the efforts by you and your peeps!!!
for those who are watching but do not know..... the heritage is still a softail. no different than the lowrider s (you could put bags on and it would be the same bike) all the touring bikes, (DG, RG, RK) are the same bike... the fairings and windshields are all personal choice. there are 3 basic harley platforms: the sportsters (low, 48, etc.... small l, light-ish and quick. these were the race bikes years ago...) the softails (lowrider, heritage, standard... etc) the touring (road king, road glide, street glide, ultras) (also, trikes, and now electric and adventure (which is a street legal, off road bike) ...there used to be a "dyna" which was kind of a cross between a sportster and softail (the sons of anarchy bikes) every harley is customizable beyond imagination. even a 25 year old bike is still the same....if you can flat foot it, you can learn to ride it safely. it takes a good 5k miles to feel comfortable and you done "get good" until after 10k miles of experience.
It’s a shame you can’t get on a goldwing, bc you would love the wing. But they are hard to find them in stock at dealerships. 3 months to order one, by what my friend in Tennessee told me. Best of luck with what ever you decide.🇺🇸💫🌟😊
I love both street glide and road glide. I am 5’4 and the front end of the road glide felt weird to me so I bought a street glide and again I love both of the bikes just the street glide a little more lol
I spent months deciding about my Road Glide, considering a Road King and the Street Glide. Still just totally pleased with it and wouldn’t have any other Harley.
Meg thanks for the videos I'm thinking about getting a Harley but I'm like you short legs and I need to get the right bike with a passenger on the back to come to a stop and have both feet planted keep up the great work and you guys be safe!!
You look comfortable riding both the touring bikes. It is obvious that you have good riding abilities no matter what you are riding. Have a great time at Bike Week. Wish I were going!
@@megsmotorcyclejourney you are welcome for the good words. I have been riding Harleys for 29 years and can tell you that being a safe rider is an important part of protecting yourself. The other part is staying aware of others on the road . I alway tell newer riders that the biggest risk is cars entering your path from either another lane of a side road. Two rules that I always follow is 1) Assume that no one can see you as you ride and 2) and even if you make eye-eye contact with the driver, assume they will try to run over you. I say this because if bu doing this you are always aware of an escape path when they do pull into your path, your chances of avoiding a crash are a lot better. Safe riding!
You’d video Meg. I was searching my brain for ideas. I ride a 18 Deluxe which isn’t a touring bike per say but many people add a shield and bags. I think it’s the lowest seat made 25’ A good friend of mine is 5”3 and rides it like a pro. Also, think how you felt when you first went from your Iron(?) to your Low Rider. You thought it was so much if a change and bigger. Same holds true if you were to go to a RG. I have a feeling your pretty good at adapting. :).
Hey Meg, I totally understand why you would want a touring bike in addition to your Low Rider S, as I have a chopper, which I prefer to ride most of the time, but for longer rides, my touring bike, a Victory Cross County 8-Ball firs the bill.
@@megsmotorcyclejourney Fortunately here on the West Coast it is a comfortable 70 degrees and sunshine. So I plan to take my bagger to Lake Tahoe this weekend.
Meg, you make both the Street Glide and Road Glide look really good, But you look most comfortable and confident on your bike, and that’s what really matters. The great thing is we have several choices from H-D that we can all find our comfortable ride.
Tip...don’t “lower” the bike, change the seat. Lowering the bike decreases the lean angle. Just trying to help.🤘😎
I’ve heard that but appreciate you mentioning it again.
Looking sharp. You’ve come along very well.
Both are great bikes. You can’t go wrong with either one. Take care. Respect from Texas.

Change them out
When needed for each rider. Solo seats then not as big either.
@@jefftunnell1964 good suggestion!
I’m 5’6” and have a 2020 sgs. I’m using a Saddlemen step-up seat for better foot contact to the ground. Would avoid messing with the suspension.

I own a 2020 Road Glide Special. I recommend changing out the seat for a saddleman gel seat, which will lower your stance and improve comfort.

I don’t like how far it pushes me forward on my low Rider S but maybe it would be different on a touring bike?
The street glide and road glide do not have forward controls those models, only thing is the radio is so far away on the road glide.
The folks at the dealer told me they did.

Hey Meg I could use some advice. I have a Sportster Custom with a HD quick release windscreen. It has Lexan brand glass. Anyway, not sure if its from condensation or the cover blowing in the wind but along the top edge it has some slight cloudiness forming. Thought with your detail experience you could tell me the easiest way to try to clean it up before it gets worse. Was thinking maybe Meguires Plast-X.... what would you guys try?
@michaelmichaelmotorcycle1032 is a better person to answer this. I assume it’s like headlight restoration, we have several products for that.
Forward reach seats are slimmer so it will be easier to flat foot, you will get 2 inches of easier reach to the foot controls as we has handlebars
Yes, that would help!

I've modified my stock seat ( Mean City Cycles ) with the super narrow mod , also have Low Down Mustang seat , both helped. It probably took me a whole riding season to be as comfortable on my Street Glide as I was on my Softail , 6 years and I still love my SG , you get used to them.
I believe that- I know it has many advantages- we’ll see how I feel over the next several years.
ask Jerry Paladino about the company that rebends the clutch lever to make it easier.
Will do! 🙂
19:06 love it 😜awesome video Meg congrats to the camera man 👍👍can't wait for more please?? 🙏❤😘
Stay tuned for videos on Thursday evenings and most Sundays.
@@megsmotorcyclejourney waiting patiently lol Meg at first i thought you were going to take a test drive with your dress on ! My hart was pounding lmao you are gorgeous girl such a amazing lady! ❤😘
Hi Meg. I bought a 2020 Street Glide and had to get a narrower seat so my feet stayed flat on the pavement. I truly love it. It's the bike foe me. And again great video..Enjoy Fla.
Aww thanks for the suggestion and so glad you found the bike for you!
Great video. I wondered about the Road Glide with the fixed fairing. Good info there, thanks. I’m thinking of a new bike. I’ve had my Heritage Nostalgia since new in 1994.
Wow- way to take care of that bike! Thanks for watching
Another great video Meg. Hard choice but road king for me. Nothing like having a favourite too the low rider looks awesome. Cameraman does an amazing job I have to agree with the last comment. Ride safe you guys.
Thank you! He does do a wonderful job. I appreciate your support.
Hi Megan I've had 3 street glides and I bought new a 17 road glide special .in my opinion the road glide having a frame mounted faring cuts the wind easier.by that I noticed on the highway or cornering at high speeds the handle bar fairing on the street glide will wobble some.but its still nice .the road glide frame mount is more stable in high speeds and wind. I like them both. As far as you sitting far forward and having trouble moving around the bike.the seat can be cut down on the sides letting your knees and thighs to be closer to the tank.this let's your legs or feet get more flat footed. Jerry has a video on this suggestion. Plus the back of certain seats can keep you more forward. For better control. Lowering the bike can alter the handling and ride .I've seen women your size riding both bikes.some even have big rubber heals on their boots.good video.just my experience with the two bikes. For what it's worth.Rich
Experience and wisdom are very valuable so thank you for sharing yours! I appreciate you following along!
@@megsmotorcyclejourney your welcome Megan!!!
Hi Megan I meant to thank you for your thoughtful response thank you!! You and the cameraman are like a fun weekly TV series.keep up your fun content nice !!!
@@richhoolahan4995 aww I’m so glad you are enjoying the content! Appreciate you watching and your feedback!
I am a Street Glide owner. The Road Glide faring seem too big and the Street Glide offered better wind protection for the hands, easier view of gauges (I wear a modular helmet), and sportier riding position. Also, you can attach adjustable wind deflectors to blow more air on you on hot days or deflect it off on cold days. No matter which you both end up getting, get the adjustable rider’s backrest. Trust me, you will love having it.
I wasn’t aware of some of those considerations. Thank you for pointing them out!!
@@megsmotorcyclejourney Something to consider before spending $20+k on another bike is to find an HD dealer that will allow you to rent the model you wish to purchase for a weekend. That way you can ride it at highway speeds, and longer distances. Plus, you can see if you like the storage capacity too. I wish I rented one before I purchased my SG. I did not realize the wind buffeting I would get with the Street Glide's low windshield. Keep in mind that I wear a modular helmet too. I do not have any experience with the Road Glide. However, keep in mind that the Road King and Heritage Softail both have removable windshields for hot, summer riding. Just some advice you and Cameraman can think it over.. Also, the HD GPS (least got the 2018 model ) is not good. I heard they made improvements, but have the HD dealer demo how to use that before you purchase. I had resorted to use google maps on occasions.
Enjoy your Daytona trip and stay safe..
Check out the Police model Road King if you can find one, you get more for the money and you can easily remove the windshield when you want to.
Great suggestion! Thank you for watching!
I am with you on the Low Rider S...it is my 4th Harley...and my all-time favorite...that includes 2 1/2 years of riding a 2016 Road Glide Special.
That’s awesome feedback! Thank you. All these touring bike riders telling me I don’t know what I’m missing. 🙄 lol
I own a Street Glide and love it.. You looked amazing on both bikes.. Foxy as ever Meg! Two thumbs up for the camera guy, you must have a camera in your eyes balls. LOL
Hahahaha. He does a great job! Thank you for the kind words and support. 🙂
I live in Old Town, Alexandria....you're right...the traffic in the DMV does suck...Will be looking out for you around the DMV. I ride an Indian Challenger Dark Horse. I have been to that Harley Dealership a couple of times as well. Great staff there
So when is the Meg Rides Pin-up Calendar going to be available?
I sold out of 2021 calendars. I plan to do 2022 calendars though
Your elbow bend and comfort zone looked good on the road glide. Looked like they had them puuled back a tad more than normal. Looking good as usual!
Thank you! I did think the bars felt nice. 🙂
Always worth watching...thanks again
Thank you! Appreciate you following along.
Road glide or street glide- its a personal preference. Mine is the road glide! It's my ride or die. Less buffering on the faring at highway speeds. But I did go with the chieftain when I bought my Indian just to mix it up. So I know both types of fairings and brands. Pro and cons to all. You have to be comfortable whatever you choose. Happy riding!
Same to you! Thank you for watching.
@@megsmotorcyclejourney Some die hard may hate me for this but have you tried a new Indian? Specifically the chieftain or challenger. You may be surprised.
Best video yet. Love the segment on Cameramans different go pro placements
He really out did himself with taping this time.
I owned a 2018 Street Glide and I never could seem to get comfortable on it. I’m 6’3” with long limbs and nothing I did (seat, bars, etc) gave me a level of comfort for any period of time in the saddle. Always felt like I was trying to back away from the fairing.
I test rode a Road Glide one afternoon just killing time and purchased my 2019 FLTRXS that afternoon. It was fairly comfortable with the stock bars but I opted to go with 14” Factory 47’s and it fits me like a glove. One of the things I noticed immediately was how stable the Road Glide is at very low speeds vs the Street Glide, which in my head the fixed fairing on the RG makes it more stable as you’re not constantly battling the weight of the fairing moving like you do on the SG. It’s a totally different ride in my opinion and the RG fits my riding style better. Maybe it’s got something to do with all of the years I spent on the MX track and having that desire to be farther back over the rear wheel, hell I dunno.
You guys are certainly going about the purchase the right way and riding lots of bikes to make sure you both can agree. Any way you go, there is no wrong choice so long as you get what you feel most comfortable on.
Keep up the great vids and quality content !
Thank you! I appreciate the benefit of your wisdom. Thanks for following along!
I had my Hi Viz vest on today, low glare sunlight ,people driving cars not wearing sunglasses.Love the Baggers,I’ll stick with my Streetbob for the moment, my fave is the Heritage,Sportglide also is interesting.
Thanks for the thoughts!
I test road everything from a Sportster to an Ultra when I was shopping for a new bike. the Street Glide just fit me best. I still go to my favorite shop and test ride. the sales staff love me because they get out of the shop for a little bit. Have fun in Daytona. Ride safe.
Aww thank you! That sounds like fun!!!
Okay, I’ll admit it. I am a shameless fanboy of the Heritage Softail. At 5’9” with a 29” inseam they just work great for me. I have owned 4 big bikes also but none of them ever gave me the pure enjoyment of riding like the Heritage. Currently I have 2 Heritage Softails. A 2010 and a 2020 with the 114. I would highly encourage a test ride on a Heritage before making any decisions.
I’ll absolutely check it out. It’s not that different from my Low Rider S.
that was awesome thanks for taking us on the test ride really enjoyed ride safe and take care
Aww thank you! Appreciate you watching. 🙂
Cameraman has a good eye for filming. Road glide is one of my favorites.
He is great at it. Sometimes he doesn’t feel that way- he’s a perfectionist- so I appreciate you saying so.
Lots of thirsty men in the comments making fools of themselves most guys are predictable fools for sure
@@megsmotorcyclejourney I love your videos I would love to ride with you
Cameraman has an eye for the back view.
Look at the i-Ride system by ThunderMax. One of the Harley stores here in San Diego told me about this. Now if you try the Heritage you can do a two into one and put the bigger bags from the RG or SG on it. That’s what my wife is doing.
Sounds like a great plan. I’ll check it out.
The biggest difference is when you pass a truck with the road glide the whole bike moves. The bat wing the handle bars will move when going by a truck.
I did notice that on the highway
We have what is basically a road glide group here in Md -8-9 of us and growing . We all rode together before but have all switched to the Road glides We average around 20-25k miles a year. Im 5'4 and ride a 17 Rg Ultra - Seat mod for 150 bucks will have you fitting like a glove.
Thank you for the tip. Appreciate your feedback.
Road Glides are great for long rides. Got to get used to the fairing not turning with the bars, you get over that in a short amount of time. Just get two different seats for whoever is riding it that day. Getting the controls in a neutral position will help.
Good luck with a touring bike!...just picked up my new 2018 Yamaha Star Eluder GT and it is so smooth riding even though it is so heavy.
I’ll check it out!
Thundermax has an auto ride height shock that lowers way down below 5 mph then raises as you go.
Someone else mentioned that. Sounds so cool. I’ll check it out
It is good to try other bikes, it often helps you figure out things to do to your own and it makes you a better rider too. I love my Road King. Still very much in the grip of winter here in the North East so it is nice to see you out riding. You are awesome keep it up and Ride Safe!
Maryland just now thawed out!
Looking great in Blue ... not to mention love the pink 😜
Tourers are very versatile.
They are. Thank you!
yes you can easily adjust a big touring bike to fit you by lowering the suspension and also you could get a different seat that is cut different to lower youself on the bike, im 6'2 and most bikes are built for someone at least 6 foot, if you are taller or shorter than that, you are gonna have to make some adjustmens to the bike to fit ya, but thats the fun in it, you get to make it yours
Was just over by Harley yesterday. Enjoying this channel.
It's all personal preference whether you like frame or fork mounted fairing. You can't go wrong with either. I'm a Road King guy. At 5'4" 160#, I just prefer the greater front visibility of just a windshield. All 3 are identical bikes. Enjoy the ride and be safe!
(Ron here)- Great video Meg! Looked like you really owned that road glide !! There are many options to get your feet on the ground. I’ve written to many people about mean city cycles out of North Carolina. They have a lot of different modifications to get you lower by removing foam out of the seat and rescuplting with memory foam. Check out there many options. Dig that Road Glide!! 😎
Thank you for the suggestions! I’ll check it out. 🙂
I would add, make sure you are adjusting the suspension for your weight. It also changes the ride height or squat.
That’s a good point
Unless you have to have the noise of loud pipes the most comfortable ride ,thats adjustable from the seat ,has plenty of power smooth and very well balanced, try a Goldwing. Iron but challenge is not a problem on one.
I might test ride one at some point.
I can’t believe this one got by me till now .
Great video Meg you rock🤘
Great video... Also... the drone shot ex-tro is awesome!
Thank you. My friend Doug shot that.
Pretty sure I saw you ride by me today. That custom color is even nicer in person. Glad we've had a couple of warm days. My first day out for two weeks. Unfortunately I could only squeeze an hour of riding in between virtual meetings.
Ugh! Glad you got out. I was out yesterday! Where about a were you?
@@megsmotorcyclejourney I’m in Columbia. I think you past me in Maple Lawn.
Old glory is great! Where I took my rider course and bought my V-Rod.
Nice!
The road glide is a frame mounted fairing vs street glide is a fork mounted fairing and the is around 850 lbs and street glide is around 800 lbs. So power is better on the street glide but the road glide ride is nicer because of the frame mounted fairing. Harley makes a super reduced reach seat it will lower you about 1.5 inches and move you forward about 2.5 inches check with Jerry ( Ride like a pro ) now if the bikes are 2021 they switch back to a cable clutch from hydraulic so buy a seat for you and cameraman can use the stock seat. Yes 👍 I am a road glide guy and I still love my softail sport glide with a stage 2. Good luck
Good suggestions! Appreciate your input.
Hi Megan, it was lovely to accompany you on this trip, and you give some good analysis from these test rides. I would just add, that whatever bike you test ride, can never feel as comfortable as the bike you have owned for a time, as everything will feel strange for quite a while. I really enjoyed coming along.
The weird thing is, the first time I test rode my low rider s, I knew it was the one.
I prefer the road glide, if im not mistaken the street and road share the same frame but the major difference is in the fairing- fork vs frame mounted. I ride a 17 RGS so I can't comment on the newer ones, im holding out for a new one when they change the frame! 12 street bob in the garage too but really want the low rider s(miss my old dyna) and now of course the Pan America, christ im gonna be broke forever.
lol. Same! Thanks for watching.
Hey Meg, I currently own a Street Glide and really do love it. I do agree with you thou the handle bar fairing on the Road Glide is the way to go. Alot more stable and you will have no problem getting a feel for it. And most importantly the Levi's looked ALOT better on the Road Glide. Ride Safe and good luck with your decision.
Hahaha. Thank you for your feedback. Appreciate you watching.
Hey Meg, loved the video. Looking forward to your Daytona trip. Be safe...Dave
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback and you following along. 🙂
Those bikes have a cable clutch verse the hydraulic clutch on your lowrider S. Both have different feel. I love my Road King, touring bike but still has a classic look, no electronics, I'm OK n those all day ! Nice video.
Great job Meg! For me seems like the bigger touring bikes at times are easier to ride! Although they are all fun to ride just learning their personality! :) luv ya girl !
Aww thank you for the encouragement! I appreciate you watching.
Real shame the "Switchback" was discontinued by Harley (for many reasons); it would have been the *perfect* choice for your requirements...
Huh, maybe I could find a gently used one? I’ll check it out.
@@megsmotorcyclejourney My wife has a 2016 Switchback and loves it. It's a Dyna and handles really well.
@@barrysandlin4156 I might look for one to try.
@@megsmotorcyclejourney There is a very nice Switchback available in my neck of the woods (Darlington, MD - Harford County; virtually at the edge of the Conowingo Dam). Would you like to PM me at [FB] Lowell Tackett? Edit: I am 5'8" with a 31" inseam; when I straddle my Switchback both feet are flat on the ground and I completely clear the seat.
Both are nice I just like the looks of the street glide ultra looking at a 2021 I can't wait to get back out ridding here in upstate NY just to cold and the roads are nasty
Ugh so sorry. It was SOOO good to ride. Finally.
Hey Jeff.
Where in UpState NY are you... ? I'm Oneida NY . !
usaf vet little falls just outside of herkimer
Yay, you liked the Road Glide better. I’ve ridden both and I think the Road Glide cuts the wind better. I also think the fixed fairing takes a little getting used to in slow maneuvers. Ride safe. 🤘
Thank you! You ride safe as well. I was surprised but it was my favorite of the two
I have the 20201\2 cvo roadglide my second roadglide just something about the roadglide for me guess that's why they build both the streetglide and roadglide
True! We all get to have our separate preferences.
Hey you look pretty good on them bikes Meg. You mentioned having to drive around the building twice, how much paperwork did you needed to fill out? To test drive a bike.
Just one form and give them a copy of our licenses.
I love the road glide. You should try a Indian Chieftain next
I do plan to try some Indians.
I came to the same Road Glide vs Street Glide conclusion as you and cameraman. I had EVERY intention of trading in my Solftail Heritage Classic on a Street Glide Special. I was shocked that the Street Glide Special ride was so harsh and the wind protection was terrible. I ended up with a 2020 Road Glide Limited. Not having the weight of the fairing on the forks is noticeable at slow-speed maneuvers. I highly recommend you change the clutch and brake levers to reduced reach Softbrake levers and the brake pedal to an extended Softbrake brake pedal. I preferred the look of the batwing fairing, but I doubt I'll ever own one after now having ridden and owning a Shark Nose bike. Another thing to know, a large phone will NOT fit in the batwing. I have a Google Pixel 3XL and it fits fine in the compartment on the Road Glide. I'd have to mount it on the handlebars of a Street Glide. That was a big deal for me, as well.
Important considerations. I appreciate you bringing them to our attention! Thank you for watching.
I have owned a Street glide and Currently own a Road Glide. I prefer the Road glide over the street glide. The handling at low and Hi speeds are better with the Road Glide. Enjoy your journey with the purchase of your new Bike.
Thank you! Appreciate the support.
Great bike videos 🏍️👍 I do prefer the road glide with the shark front look, but the street glide is cool too. Always fun to go test riding new bikes. Great u got your own bike back & the new bars should make it much nicer now to ride 😀
Yes! They are a huge improvement.
Wow!!! Not once did you have to rest your arm for your shoulder! I think ( I said this before when you rode with Jerry) that the SG is your ride!!! Good posture and you look bad ass!! I get the smaller bike I loved my softail too when I was new rider spent all sorts of money making it fit me!!! Glad you tried out the touring models!!!
It was a nice ride but I could barely touch the ground which was a little scary.
@@megsmotorcyclejourney True! A different seat works for that part! My sister is 5 foot nothing rides one but yes had to change her seat!
Great video Meg! You’ll have a fun time in Daytona too.
Thank you!
Funny thing is the Road Glide and Street Glide are the same bike only difference is the fairings.I own a 2019 Street Glide and I've ridden the Road Glide and the Road Glides fairing puts all the gauges and touch screen at a different angle and further away from the rider. I could'nt get used to the fairing on the Road Glide plus I dig the classic Batwing look.
Hi Meg, one Harley-Davidson many forget about is the Electra-Glide Standard. It’s a nice bike If you are looking to add stuff to it over time. I hope H-D is still building this bike for 2021 because it’s a good value I think.
I agree. They didn’t have any there. Good suggestion
Both Great Bikes But i Love My Road King a Solid Bike....Good Luck on Your Venture Meg.
Thank you! Appreciate the well wishes.
Florida Hugh here street glides any one change seats easy to do for changing riders street glides seem to be bit lower love my street glides great storage get a sissy bar strap stuff to seat and sissy bar you can carry a lot and the street glides likes having a lot of weight makes it ride great . Street glides don't mess around with the others . I have owned them all have fun
Agree! Never met a bike I didn’t like.
If you guys go with a touring bike, have you considered a backrest for yourself? They tend to push the rider forward more, might help with the forward controls and is removable for others. Anyways another great video, we appreciate the efforts by you and your peeps!!!
Aww thank you! I appreciate you watching and good suggestion.
for those who are watching but do not know..... the heritage is still a softail. no different than the lowrider s (you could put bags on and it would be the same bike)
all the touring bikes, (DG, RG, RK) are the same bike... the fairings and windshields are all personal choice.
there are 3 basic harley platforms:
the sportsters (low, 48, etc.... small l, light-ish and quick. these were the race bikes years ago...)
the softails (lowrider, heritage, standard... etc)
the touring (road king, road glide, street glide, ultras)
(also, trikes, and now electric and adventure (which is a street legal, off road bike)
...there used to be a "dyna" which was kind of a cross between a sportster and softail (the sons of anarchy bikes)
every harley is customizable beyond imagination. even a 25 year old bike is still the same....if you can flat foot it, you can learn to ride it safely. it takes a good 5k miles to feel comfortable and you done "get good" until after 10k miles of experience.
It’s a shame you can’t get on a goldwing, bc you would love the wing. But they are hard to find them in stock at dealerships. 3 months to order one, by what my friend in Tennessee told me. Best of luck with what ever you decide.🇺🇸💫🌟😊
I love both street glide and road glide. I am 5’4 and the front end of the road glide felt weird to me so I bought a street glide and again I love both of the bikes just the street glide a little more lol
Some prefer blondes and other brunettes. Hahaha. But seriously- I think personal fit/preference is most important
I spent months deciding about my Road Glide, considering a Road King and the Street Glide. Still just totally pleased with it and wouldn’t have any other Harley.
Congratulations!
Wanted to start my bike this afternoon but still to cold out.
I went yesterday and today! I needed it sooo much.
@@megsmotorcyclejourney Another month or so and my gal Ruby will be out.
Meg thanks for the videos I'm thinking about getting a Harley but I'm like you short legs and I need to get the right bike with a passenger on the back to come to a stop and have both feet planted keep up the great work and you guys be safe!!
Thank you! Appreciate you watching.
Hey Meg, Try out the Roadking. Lighter but still has hard saddlebags.
Once you go Road Glide you never go back
Haha.
You look comfortable riding both the touring bikes. It is obvious that you have good riding abilities no matter what you are riding. Have a great time at Bike Week. Wish I were going!
Aww thank you! I certainly get enough criticism on here to question that. I appreciate the kind words and you watching.
@@megsmotorcyclejourney you are welcome for the good words. I have been riding Harleys for 29 years and can tell you that being a safe rider is an important part of protecting yourself. The other part is staying aware of others on the road . I alway tell newer riders that the biggest risk is cars entering your path from either another lane of a side road. Two rules that I always follow is 1) Assume that no one can see you as you ride and 2) and even if you make eye-eye contact with the driver, assume they will try to run over you. I say this because if bu doing this you are always aware of an escape path when they do pull into your path, your chances of avoiding a crash are a lot better.
Safe riding!
What dealership did you test ride from ?
You’d video Meg. I was searching my brain for ideas. I ride a 18 Deluxe which isn’t a touring bike per say but many people add a shield and bags. I think it’s the lowest seat made 25’ A good friend of mine is 5”3 and rides it like a pro.
Also, think how you felt when you first went from your Iron(?) to your Low Rider. You thought it was so much if a change and bigger. Same holds true if you were to go to a RG. I have a feeling your pretty good at adapting. :).
It is true that my bike seemed huge at first. 🤔
Hey Meg, do they have a rental service so you could get a feel for the bike over a few days? Try a Roadking as well.
I don’t think so but that’s a great suggestion
I'm on my second Road Glide, had a 2016, now a 2020, it's called love.... :-)
Lolz I’m guessing you are a little bigger than I am.

@@andycarter7325 that does help! I’m only 5’2”

What year is your Liw Rider S?
Hey Meg, I totally understand why you would want a touring bike in addition to your Low Rider S, as I have a chopper, which I prefer to ride most of the time, but for longer rides, my touring bike, a Victory Cross County 8-Ball firs the bill.
Yes! Not every day riding but a trip to Myrtle Beach bike would be a great example of a time when it would be nice
@@megsmotorcyclejourney Fortunately here on the West Coast it is a comfortable 70 degrees and sunshine. So I plan to take my bagger to Lake Tahoe this weekend.
Check out the Ultra Limited Low geared towards shorter riders
Will do! Good suggestion
Meg, you make both the Street Glide and Road Glide look really good, But you look most comfortable and confident on your bike, and that’s what really matters. The great thing is we have several choices from H-D that we can all find our comfortable ride.
Yes! The process of choosing and making it yours is awesome.
You need to go with the Road glide. You have the best name to be riding a shark “Meg” as in Megalodon 👍🏻
Bahaha that’s perfect- not to mention people call lawyers sharks.
