The Bike
2026 Road Glide
Our long-distance platform and rolling test bed.
Built to accumulate miles.
Our 2026 Harley-Davidson Road Glide joined us in July 2026. We typically buy a new motorcycle about every two years, which gives us a unique long-term perspective on ownership, high-mileage use, wear, upgrades and reliability. This bike is not being saved for sunny Sundays. It gets ridden hard and often, two-up, over long distances.
We track scheduled services, tires, brakes, fluids, wear items, repairs, accessories, luggage, comfort upgrades and long-term reliability.
