Congratulations on your FLD. I can relate with the grinning while going down the road part.

sorry if it sounds like gloating, it's hard to bring true attitude off on the internet but what im getting at is i believe i have finally found the bike i am going to stick with, the FLD is everything i couldnt find in the bikes before it... the ride handling and just overall comfort level is way above what i had before it and definitely something i can see riding for years to come

and NO i personally dont believe i took a major loss.
as an example for just the last 2 bikes
i paid $13,800 for my wideglide and traded it in after 6 months for $12777 and that was with me removing everything i wanted to keep.
i paid $8000 straight up for my nightster, it was a left over demo with forwards and the black diamond collection already installed and i traded it in for the wideglide at $8300 after just over a year of enjoying it and got to remove what i wanted off of that too.

I know just how you feel about your FLD.
Thanks to my good fortune I also have one.

Can’t think of one I would rather own.

til now, all three new bikes I've bought over the years have been black, 4 of the eight Harleys i've owned have been black.. When i purchased this one I was told. Its the wrong color for me, I should be on a black one.. lol

red is my favorite color, and the second other color of my bikes..
