Congratulations!
If you're going to put on a lot of miles, Road Glide is the bike to ride.

Once you go large it's nearly impossible to go back to a smaller machine.

I like the looks of the RGSE's but I've grown very fond of the protection that comes with the batwing fairing

Congrats on your two new additions!

The story and the title sounds a little like "buyer remorse". I had that with my current bike.

It kind of is. The funny thing is that I was saying that while we were closing the deal. The OL kept telling me to go ahead and get it and pay it off before we retire. It isn’t that I can’t afford it, but more like I needed a new bike last like I needed a hole in my head as I was happy with the Limited

I guess that’s what individuality is. Some like black bikes some love me red, I like blue

I switched from a 17 Road King to a 17 Road Glide, and talk about buyers remorse I tossed and turned all night. The next day I was reading the obituaries and a kid that was a year behind me in school was DEAD at 54 as soon as I read that my buyers remorse vanished! I love my Road Glide and I assure you that you will also, Have fun and enjoy. A final note I always here how Road Glides are great at eating up the miles and that is true but they can carve the hell out of the back roads just as well.
