Electra Glide Classic -- For those of you who fight the urge to get a touring bike, the Electra Glide Classic is a formidable opponent. It sets you up with a fairing, windshield and stereo system. It gives you an uppercut to the midsection with a big, soft seat and passenger backrest, followed by a right jab to the chin with its barrel-locked Tour-Pak and saddlebags. Finally, the 1340CC fuel-injected Evolution engine gives you a left cross that leaves you wondering what hit you. And why it took so gosh darn long to do
