2021 Road Glide vs. '13 F6B
I just returned from a 5-day trip to Ocean City. Flew from ATL to BWI and I used "Riders-Share.com" and rented a 2021 Road Glide with only 2,400 miles on it. It was just as smooth as my F6B. I like the RG sound much better than the Honda even though the Honda has Cobra pipes and Torq Loopz. Hard to beat the V-Twin sound. Both bikes are very comfortable. Both had plenty of power off the line. Both handled quite well. In fact the bikes were surprisingly similar except for one area. The F6B has superior wind protection. The RG had significantly more wind noise around the legs, shoulders, neck, & head. I guess that is everywhere but the torso. My F6B does have the Madstad so that helps. But the amount of wind from under that shark-front end is noticeable. I would not have noticed this had I not owned an F6B, and this will matter in colder weather riding. Considering what I paid for my '13 F6B...I'd keep it over a new RG.
Also FWIW, I've used R-S to rent bikes a few times now, and I also rent out my F6B for $85/day. I just started and had two rentals that yielded me $700. That works for me.

Where You Gonna Charge It?

We'll all be on electric bicycles if this social nonsense keeps snowballing.
But good luck finding a place to charge them!
I've told friends who are mesmerized by EVs that while they work well in some situations, it's pure fantasy that we'll be able to add millions of new EVs to a grid that is already marginal. Just look at Texas where they're being told postpone charging and turn off appliances because wind power is providing less than 8% of its 'installed capacity'. Rationing is being implemented in the UK, where mandated 'smart' chargers stop functioning from 8-11 AM and 4-10 PM. That's what's in store for us if we keep trying to electrify everything.
