Yeah, I got the membership because it's a pretty decent deal to use the credits to rent a bike for a trip. It's $30 a month for the lowest level, and you earn 1 credit per month. When you rent, 1 credit is worth a lot more than the $30 you spent, so it makes it worth it. For example, we're going to Sturgis this year. I'm renting a Road King for one of our friends using my membership. For the whole week it would have costed minimum of almost $1700. He's paying just over 800 with my credits. It's a killer deal if you plan to use it.

That's why we plan our trips down there for during the week. It's so mjch better than trying to fight weekend traffic and douchebags.
I did that three years in a row. Would go to FL in December to burn up the vacation time I didn't take during the year, which was usually all of it. I'd always plan the return trip to come back through there on a Thursday or Friday. Two years in a row my plans were thwarted by shit weather. 2017 was a massive snow storm that we caught the leading edge of just on the northeast side of Atlanta. Had to bail and head home instead.
2018 was the same. Had a rapidly developing storm in the gulf that was moving NE and temps were dropping. Forecast was freezing rain and snow, so hauled ass back home. I did come up through Ashland, NC where a friend lives and she said "keep going, do NOT stop". Within a few hours they were skiing down their streets and pulling saucer sleds with her jeep.
So 2019 was the first year it was decent enough, even with the fog/drizzle/rain. After the motion sickness crap (long story) I vowed I'd go back to do it again, w/o her, and I intend to.
Edit: December 2020 we didn't do shit, so nothing to report ?
I saw this a couple weeks ago. Actually
Mr Baytchos and I were talking about it as well. Looks interesting
80? I see 60 for the Grunt model. The 4 wheeled Beast model does 80, which is the fastest of what they offer.
These look like they'd be a lot of off-roading fun.
Anyone need some nostalgia for their next bike?

I bet that is a great all day backroad or highway cruiser. I'd like to try one for day, but I know the higher bars would kill my shoulder in 30 minutes or less.
Oh I bet, but the elevated bars would kill my shoulder. Shit, just sitting at a table with my hands on it, like eating dinner will make it flare up. Need the lower bars until I can figure out what the hell is wrong with it. Made our ride around Lake Superior quite uncomfortable.No way Man, comfortable.
Rides like a Cadillac.
It's the perfect cruiser
