Doubt anybody on here can tell you if you will like the bike, that's your call.....as for buying the bike, the price seems fair, low miles, etc. I personally would want to ride the bike for a while to see how if performs and eliminate any bugs before I set out on a 1-2K journey. But hey, thats just my .02 !!

Would a Wide Glide be comfy for such a trip? Oh I plain on some dry and loaded runs around here before leaving.

We all have different comfort levels so It would be hard to answer. The price seems ok but I would still try to talk them down. Maybe take it in to a shop and have them check it out before you buy it.

It is all in the seat. I have put a bunch of 12 hour days on my 07 Super Glide and felt like I could have gone longer. I figure it is because I bought a Sundowner. I agree with the suggestion to check it out mechanically and do some dry runs first. PS I am 65 and not an ironman!
