Besides that, what's not to love about a factory built HARLEY chopper?

I am gonna snag some highway pegs that I can just bolt on for long trips so I have a place to stretch out and move. Throw on those, a 2 up comfy seat,and quick detatch backrest,with Super T and I am all set for the highway. 20 minute conversion from lean and mean to road trippin.

I actually wanted a Night Train but they discontinued them so I bought my Wide Glide. So glad HD helped me make that decision, I have ridden some softails since I bought my WG and they just dont feel right to me.
The WG is like riding a Lazy Boy with a nice cool factor that is super loud. It does and has everything I want and nothing I dont (dual discs would be nice)

Been riding crotch rockets and still have in the "stable". Not ready (old enough) for the baggers just yet, plus, too big of a difference after decades of crotch rockets to make that jump to the road sofas. Wanted the Harley to ride with my Sister and her Dyna Lowrider. The Fatbob fit me well, handles almost as good as my Kawa ZX-12, looks mean and ready for business, ideal for the occasional dinner ride to the local BBQ pit for bike night OR for a trip around Texas.

i started riding when i was 16, dirtbikes. moved to sport bikes by the time i was 18. bought my first cruiser when i was 27...metric, but don't hold that against me. rode that for two years and all the time shopped for an American made bike. when the 2010 wide glides hit the show room i was deployed, and aafes had already been out of their allotment by the time i got to one of their stores in the desert. as soon as i got home, my dad and i rode to state college, i sat on the bike for 30 seconds, called on the sales guy, and that was it. loving every minute since.
I grew up on the back of my dad's Electra Glide and loved the look of the base cycle under all of the accessories he enjoyed, the fairing and bags, etc. My dream bike in the years after that was a Springer Softail. I tried a few other bikes, some rice burners and dirt bikes, but always held the ideal of my dad's Harley. Several times on different deployments I had the opportunity to get a new HD but something always got in the way so for 20 years I did without a ride. With retirement on my near horizon I finally got the bike that in my paradigm screams Harley Davidson. It does not need bags but they are available. Same with a sissy bar and dual seat, they look great with either a single or double outfit. I know other bikes can be modified but the Dyna seems far more versatile.
