curious ... next time you're in your bike hoarding mega storage trailer, take a look at your davidson's head tube, and tell me if it's much longer than the others of the same size.
it is a nice ride. and i don't even have very expensive tires on it.
one thing that stands out is its slight squirreliness when descending at high speed. (i say this only compared to what i'm used to riding.) i guess the fork is pretty light compared to my others. and maybe it's due to the angles as well. there isn't any toe overlap, which is good.
this 'challenge' model was davidson's production racing offering in '84. the other production model, called 'discovery,' was more slack, with eyelets and more tire clearance for touring.
