Default What the hell did I just do?

Tuesday, we went to DFW to get the wife a (new to her) Deluxe. Got all the paperwork done and yesterday pick the bike up and head home. While at the motel, we started discussing me trading my 2013 Limited (they were giving nada retail on trades) on a new bike. I had been eyeballing a Street Glide with the hard candy flake and wanted the sales person to give me some numbers. The more I looked at the street glide, the more I decided against it, since I was trading more bike than I was getting. So I started looking at a blue Road Glide Ultra. The numbers worked out and they will be delivering my new road glide and picking up my old Limited next Thursday.

Ditto on the pics. I wanted an RGU in the worst way but the only one they had when I made the impulse buy was a color I couldn't live with. Got the RGS and fortunately so far no regrets. But I have yet to take a trip with this bike so may have buyers remorse at some point. Guess I will get over it.

Only 1 rip on this rotating ball of water and dirt, if you can swing it you may as well enjoy it.
Congrats.

The two things that grabbed my attention on the RGU was how much more pleas the 107 M8 has over the TC103 and how much lighter the front end was compared to the Limited. To be honest, a Road Glide has never been on my radar screen, as was buying a new bike. Once the shock goes away, I think I’m going to love it. I also can’t believe that they will deliver the new bike and pick up the old bike since I live over 400 miles away from this dealership. This is the only pic I have of it so far.

Dammit, the pic didn’t upload. I’ll try it again
