Congrats on the new ride. Black Cherry is one of the best colors HD ever put on their bikes.

I wish I could agree, the pot holes are going to be even worse this year.

Well if you are talking potholes that IS a different issue. I think the scenery on the roads is pretty good though. It would be great to ride the Starved Rock area. I did it on my Sportster last summer but the E Glide will make it a whole new experience. It would be nice to ride with someone who knows that area. Thanks

Nice ride. I'm from the Illinois Quad City area. If you're up this way in the summer try riding from 1-80 onto Rte 84 exit north along the river. Great ride and scenery and places to eat.

I still have a sporty to run around on when I'm not on the geezer glide.

I can say that I'm 70.
