Default Street Glide ...

Can't sleep thinking about this guys !

Should I sell the fxdb to buy a street glide ? Need help deciding. Wish I can have both, but I don't have that kind if cash. I was offered 13k for my dyna which would put me at almost what I need to pick up a lightly used flhx

Weigh the perceived bennies of the Touring platform against the loss of handling; which characteristics would you appreciate more, miss less?

I have found to follow my heart not my head.
I have a Street Glide and I really love it.
It is still rather light as compared to most touring bikes, handles good and the comfort is great.
Rent one for a weekend if you can. It is you that has to be happy with your decision.

Hey, hey, hey...Don't even think of being an irresponsible person like me!!!! LOL Bull, go get it, right now Mister! Me and my brother have been doing it to our wives for over 30 years...LOL. It makes for a nice quiet weekend!! The last "surprise" I brought home, my daughter pulled me aside and told me I had really done it...this time! LOL. When I bought my rocker, a street glide was my second choice...nice bike.

If I could only keep one, it would be the Street Glide.
