Think back to when you were a kid. Do you remember those old Choose Your Own Adventure books? The ones where you could pick a detail, jump to a specific page in the book, and continue on following the story after you'd chosen what to do. For a while there, those books were all the rage.
I remember going to book fairs in school and picking out new Goosebumps stories that had that feature, and recall countless others that would engage the reader in similar practices. They taught children the choices of their actions, and how you can affect the outcome of a story through those choices.
And all of this may seem to be an odd way of starting a review of Harley-Davidson's 2025 Softail lineup, but I don't do anything just to do it. I make choices, just like those books helped teach me. And so, the outcome of this storytelling is that after two days riding in Texas' hill country, I found that, like those Choose Your Own Adventure books, the new Softail's big attraction rests on similar attributes.
