Angry Bye Bye Road Glide

I guy posted pics on the forums of a dealer tag on an 09 Road Glide indicating that it will be their last chance to get one as they will be discontinued.

Does anybody know what years the Road Glide was built? I was told over the weekend that this isn't the first time it's been cancelled. I think they said the early 90s saw the Road Glide missing from the lineup for a few years and then it came back.

I have never been a big fan of the RG.

This is the worst part about spring. Everyone feels the need to spread the bullsht they overhear from the dealership.

Yes, but I believe is was called the Tour Glide back then and brought back with the Road Glide name.
