Default should i sell?

So i owe $800 on the bob. I got the o.k for a 2013 from the misses. im 6'4 and feel cramped when 2 up and also solo.

What are thought on the road glide custom.

I know i will loose my lane splitting situations and around town hot rod feel. has anyone ridden one.

Could just be a phase but im really diggin the roadie custom

Checking one out tomorrow...

My worry precisely. I LOVE my FatBoy and can hardly imagine life without it. Financially, I cannot keep both bikes. I'm afraid of the phase thing, but I am loving that Road Glide. We'll see tomorrow...

The bike just looks great.

I really get tired of the constant wind on my chest and head. I know then i should sell it and hang up riding..... But i just get beat up on the highway. And i could really use storage space that looks like its ment for the bike.

Plus i dont see many around

Do you feel like you're done with the bob and ready for a new endeavor?

dude. i can tell you that i jumped this summer from my 2006 wide glide that i just paid off to a 2008 road king classic. While I like the king - i really do find myself missing my paid off wide glide. Couldn't afford to keep both. I didn't feel cramped on my wide glide when riding 2 up though - so that's up in the air. you have a tough decision with a green light for a 2013. I love my king - but i miss having a "paid off" bike. JMHO.

Knowing my next bike will be a sofa, I've been looking/reading about the Road Ultra vs Ultra Classic
I've read conflicting reports about wind buffeting for the passenger. A long test ride, even if it requires renting for a day might pay dividends.

I also will have my bike paid off in a month. Been looking at Road Kings. Been going back and forth on keeping my bob or moving up. I actually pm'd u gartec about ur bags. Cannot find any hardbags that I like on a dyna. For me, Road King would be perfect since I drive daily and I haul stuff on bike. Right now I strap a book bag on sissybar.
Everyone that I know or talked to that has had a Road Glide loves them. No regrets....so they say.
Ahhh.....decisions.....sigh
