The Rune was pretty much a novelty item. One of my neighbors owns one and I only ever saw it twice...but then he rotates his riding amongst a stable of about 30 bikes. Come to think of it, I haven't seen him at all for a while...wonder if he moved. It's definitely a funky looking ride. It's kind of an off the shelf custom that screams "look at me, I'm different" and it catches your attention for a minute and then you forget about it. It surely doesn't look like an everyday rider.
I have another neighbor that talked for weeks about the new Rune he found somewhere and he was pretty excited about getting it. When he called me to come look at his new bike, he had a new Road King Classic sitting in his garage. He came to his senses.
