How's that GS been treating you? Looks like a ton of fun to ride.

I traded in my 48 for something a little meaner (but at 700 lbs., definitely not leaner). Lightly used 2016 Softail Slim S, with performance package upgrade. 1801cc with a shit ton of torque. The weight to power ratio is just ridiculous. Still has that old school look that I love, but with a little more comfort, style, and range.

I really like the 48's. Unbeknownst to the wife that may be a present next year for myself.

I really like these styles of bikes but i am not sure they would be good touring bikes in shit weather.

I am getting to grips with the GS. The seat sucks. I think the suspension sucks but i am trying to figure that out. In a straight line going downhill over very poor road surface braking to a junction it feels like the ABS goes on.

That said through really good alpine roads it f$$king rocks. I know i would kill myself on a sports bike but this is ideal, quick but not ridiculous.
