really? short, unloaded ride to test out a loaded touring bike vs. a "zombie killer"?
you dinna even strap a duffel bag with 25 pounds of ego on the rack?
that's like testing the winter handling characteristics of a volkswagon vanagon
vs. an F150 by a ten-minute drive in manhattan rush hour.....in the summer.

you keep mentioning "gravel".............what is this "gravel thing"? please define.
have you ever ridden "gravel"? ............i mean besides your gram's driveway.
i see an awful lot of "i'm gonna" and not much "i done did." getting some
serious "all hat and no cattle" vibes.

seems like you've been fully subverted by the grrrrrrrrrrrrravel grrrrrrrrrrrrinder
marketing...........those short mtv-like quick action videos complete with buffy
shaved-chest (but 3-day facial hair!) studmuffins and loud 'lectric guitar tracks.

and what's with the "zombie killer" tag? seems to me you're buying a harley....you
know.....paying way over value for the "experience" or the "lifestyle." haha, old
fart thinks he's gonna be mad max. bet you already have the skull and bones
doo-rag!

never mind, i get it......if i have to ask, i'll just never understand.
