Default well,..... i went and done it

Well,.... after much debate inside my head I sold my 06 Superglide that I spent the last year making her my unique bike. After riding 1300 miles last week on my Dyna I just had to have a bagger. While the Dyna is a great all around bike its just not a long haul tourer in my honest opinion,... especially for 2 up riding. It was tuff to sell my first Harley, but the club that im in makes several long rides during the year and I guess I just had to think about long haul comfort. Now,.... the tuff part is deciding on which tourer.

You my friend just made a big mistake. This will come back to haunt you. Sell a Glide and replace it with a Geezer Glide, shame on you. LOL Dave...

Aw, no big deal, wasn't like you would of kept it forever.

I think the best bang for the buck, is the Electra Glide Classic. Actually a few bucks less than the Street Glide.

If you debate inside your head a lot, would that make you a mass-debater? OK bad joke... but good luck choosing a new bike. That is always a lot of fun. What model are you tending toward?

could of just turned your glide into a tourbike for the travel part and still have your local bike to. 2 in 1 dyna. could of save alot of cash, and the wife loves it when traveling. total cost $150.00 and then take the rest of the cashthat you saved from buying the tourbike and bought another bike instead
