2014 Test Ride w/Shawn- new post

Shawn does everything I can not do myself! Great, well informed tech. Our local Columbia River Chapter visited Longview Procaliber last Sat to check out the new RT. They must have received close to 20 bikes over the weekend! Great place for service as well as purchases! I got to be the first one to ride the RT in the video. I put mile one on it. I have to say I was under whelmed and will wait for the leaning spiders - when they come out!! Fingers crossed!

Sounds like a diesel? Naw, the diesel sound was coming from the knucklehead in the Chevy pickup with the Great Dane in back. Seriously, that was the first opportunity I'd had to really hear the triple and I liked the sound of it.

Personally, I was glad to see that the 2014 base RT still has the slick fenders which I prefer over the fancy look. Just me. Hard enough to wash them without all the little nooks and crannies for dirt to get in.
