The rice WP is not really an issue in summer in winter you have to watch it as the water swells the rice!
After my first 14 year stint of riding them in winter its no fun doing 110kph getting pi$$ed on going to work to arrive there like a frozen piece of steak, spring/summer time rides now only.

That style of Harley is that called "Californian" not full bottle on the styles of them all.
Seriously glad you are still here and made a full recovery I am still a bit nervy around cars coming up to intersections as I half expect them to come sailing straight through and take me down as before.
