Part of what drove him to want to upgrade was when I asked him to drive my Heritage from the dealer as I had just come out of surgery and could not ride. When we got to the bar and had a burger together he kept talking about how nice the ride was compared to his lowrider.

Yesterday on the way home from work he texted me a picture of his new 2021 Road Glide. Suddenly, all day today I am staring at pictures of the 2021 Road Glide. Damnit!

Is there a cure outside of buying a new bike?
Yes there is SEX only last two minutes so back to the bike go for it.

There IS a cure for the disease, it's called Sportster.

Not knocking anything HD is selling but, while I'm not looking to buy a new bike and IMO until Harley Davidson comes out with something better I'm cured. Symptom free since 7/19/17.

It's your money and your bike;
If you want it and can comfortably afford it you may as well get what you want. We only go around once!

FWIW, in my earlier years I bought and sold cars, truck and motorcycles like I changed (almost) my underwear

I think that I bought my last H-D ('18 Tri-Glide) and I still have two other two-wheelers'

My wife also rides (she's on her second Heritage) and loves it also but I'm hoping that she may see a Freewheeler that she would ride but she also rides rearely these days but time will tell.

Hated the rims when I saw them on the web site. They look pretty good in person.

Chrome rotors would have been nice.

What does an 883 Sportster have to do with a guy tripping out over a bagger, and considering buying one?? Just curious....

Nothing really... Other than personally I don't have the 'buy a new bike' disease cause I'm perfectly happy with the one I've got. I guess you could call it sarcastic humor, or not...
