Default I think I made a mistake today

I picked up a friends Ultra-Glide to detail it for him today. Man that is one very comfortable ride and I can't get it out of my mind. I may have to go look at a Street Glide soon.......................

If you think the Ultra was a good ride go test ride a Road Glide.

Wait til you see how much work it is to do a thorough detail job on an Ultra Classic. You'll be glad you have a Dyna.

I thought my Softail was enough work to keep clean - then I got my Limited.

I went from my road glide to wide glide. Love the lighter bike and hot rod feel. I just wasn't doing any big trips to justify the heavy bike. Yes, touring bikes are plush and at times I miss my road glide, just like my wide glide better.

Now that the wife is starting to ride, a road king might be in the future this summer.

I made the same mistake when I found out I qualified for a Loan on my Superglide. I was perfectly happy with my 883 until I found out I could afford to get the Dyna. I tried to ride the 883 after that and couldn't get the Dyna out of my head. No regrets. I know a lot of people that love their baggers.

Been there. Now I am trying to figure out how to have both in the stable. After six years on this Dyna, she is family so a trade is not gonna happen.

My mistake was letting my wife sit on one. After that it was just a matter of deciding what color.
