I like the red with the brown leather saddle.

Congrats on your decision to get this bike, but I also hope that you ignore your pole and get the color you like the most.

Safe Travels,
Richard

Are you talking about Canadian football.

Why move from a Buell to the Scout though? It's interesting when someone switches to a completely different style of bike (as opposed to getting the same kind of bike but just bigger, smaller, or newer).

Hmmmm, I'm not a big fan of that word to describe a cruiser to be honest. In fact, are not "gezzer glides" Gold Wings (and big touring bikes) thus the "glide" part of it?

But no matter, I do not think a 100hp cruiser could be called anything "that slow" as the Scout fits into the V-Rod category.... unless you also call a V-Rod a Gezzer Glide?

IMO, I think the Scout looks darn cool for a cruiser and in fact, I think it's easily the coolest cruiser on the market today.

I agree as well... I guess the term came from "those who can afford such a bike"... I donno. I don't use it myself. :D
