  I pumped Gas after school back in 1979 when the WIMA (Womens International Motorcycle Association) held a Rally near my home town. Loads of bikes came in then a Yamaha XS1100 with full Vetter Fairing and bags arrived. The lady rider was about 5ft tall, she stopped, kicked down the stand and hopped off. I refilled her tank, she hopped back on and rode off as she flipped the stand back up. I was mighty impressed that if she could do that I could try and be as confident. Well done for being as confident Doodle x

  As a short male, 5’4”, 140 lbs, 29” inseam, I pick it up off the side stand and push it up a slight incline when getting it out of the garage, the rest of it is all about finesse, I have this exact model and color SG, nice video

  I am a short rider, 5&apos;8&quot; for a man and I ride a Goldwing. &nbsp;It has it&apos;s challenges even for me, reverse helps a lot. &nbsp;It does not take a tall rider and you don&apos;t have to be that strong, the balance is the key. &nbsp;Good job, be safe, have fun.

  Nice Trip! (But insane rain). &nbsp;Awesome content taking on the challenge. &nbsp;These big bikes are special - and need special precautions &nbsp;- &nbsp;parking strategically makes a big difference. &nbsp;I recommend test rides/rental for those who have never tried a Harley. &nbsp;So light at speed, but a 800#+ bike can be unwieldy for most of us, guys included &nbsp;- good job!

  Agree, it’s all in the friction zone and using low speed skills on these heavy bikes. Anyone can ride a bagger in a straight line! I’m 5’7 and can flat foot my SG if I’m all the way forward in the seat. I need to figure out the cruise control and backing it out of the garage. For now, my husband has to get her out for me. The seat IS like a marshmallow! I’m getting the hang of it, will just take seat time and practice 👍🏻

  Glad your trip went well for you. Sure that Harley was just jumping out of their biker boots to have you using their products with so many younger people not taking a shine to the whole bagger community, and being more conventional in their motorcycle choices. May all your future trips be most enjoyable and every bit as safe. Very best wishes.

  Hey you did great ! I put my foot down on a sand covered emergency lane on a trip and had to use every ounce of strength &nbsp;I had to not drop it. &nbsp;A firetruck came ripping around a corner horns blasting and had to pull over and stop quick &nbsp;. Luckily I had two soft sidebags full on my VFR 800 &nbsp;and they saved my bike. &nbsp;Great ride &nbsp;on the first video... You are a champ.

  I Loved your perspective on the Harley review, no specs! &nbsp;Just how it made you feel. &nbsp;The essence of life.

  Much respect to how you handled the bike and ride. Well said, no shame in asking for help and everyone should be happy to help. 😃💪

  I’m a strong guy, got a new 24 Road Glide. I can barely deal with the clutch after half hour stop and go! God bless you tackling that beast!
