The Harley-Davidson trailer rolled into Kelowna today

The HD demo fleet hit Kelowna today with an exceptional assortment of 2010 models to try out. I was lucky enough to get the chance to try out the Crossbones. This has been a bike that has intrigued me for quite some time. The mini-ape handle bars are far more comfortable than I originally anticipated don’t have any negative effect on the handling of the bike. Full floor boards with heel and toe shifters threw me for a bit of a loop at first but after the first few times of putting my feet on top of the gears, I got used to it. The large brake lever is interesting – makes it feel like a car brake. The seat is great on the springs for absorbing any little bump in the road but for someone my height, it would have been better a few inches further back. I felt like I was constantly sliding off the seat as we rode. All in all the Crossbones was a great bike for cruising on.
