I am picking mine up on Tuesday. Pictures to come. She's a 2011 Road King Classic with 22,000mi. I get to take a nice 200 mile ride home. I figure it's a great way to get to know the bike!

Picked up my 2011 Ultra Classic two weeks ago. Rode sport bikes for about 20 years. I should have made the switch years ago. Enjoying the ride!!!!!!!!!

I picked up my 2009 Electra Glide with 15k miles in Dallas three weeks ago. Drove home 5.5 hours in the work vehicle got up the next morning and flew back to ride it home 5.5 hours. This is my first Harley and I'm loving it.

I picked up an '06 street glide 3 weeks ago. It's my first Harley touring bike - I've had a bmw k1200LT and a yamaha vstar 1100 for the past several years.

For me the riding position is better / more comfortable than the beamer. Handles much better also due to lower center of gravity.

I drove a '12 Electra Glide Ultra Limited home a couple weeks ago, on my second tank of gas... upgraded from a Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic and not looking back!

I'm only 500 miles into my first touring bike but so far I love it. I couldn't let go of my Dyna and will still ride it regularly but the SGS rides like a Cadillac in comparison. Enjoy!

I am so glad to know you are having a blast on your first Harley and first bike in 25 years!

You will enjoy many miles in the future and safe riding to you wherever you may go!

After owning over a dozen motorcycles I finally purchased a full dressed bagger. My gut told me to purchase one of these over 10 years ago and my gut was 100% correct. Road 15,000 miles last year and have already logged another 2K in my first month of riding this spring.
