Might have to sell the Duc and get something smoother. No two wheeled motorhomes i.e. gold wing's, legendary smoothness but too much the Buick Park Avenue of the bike world.
Something that's not boring has some uniqueness and character and heritage but not Honda, Suzuki, or Kawasaki. Yamaha might be okay. Back in the 80's I got to use my older brother's Yamaha Maxim 650 for a while after he upgraded to a Maxim 1100 and it was a fun bike.
Could the new Milwaukee 8 powered Harley Davidson Road King be smooth enough? Lots of reviews so far comment about how much less it shakes, with HD saying it shakes actually 75% less than the TC 103 engine. Reviews are useless compared to a test ride though, so maybe I should give one a try.
Going to double check all the easy to get to stuff on the Duc just in case a spark plug lead is loose or etc. Four spark plugs and four coils to check.
