Default New Ride

The ink wasn't even dry on my title on my 08 sporty and I' at the dealer looking at geezer glides.

Ended up trading for a 07 FLHTC. The bike had a few more miles on it than what I wanted(29K). Has lots of crome bits added to motor and the rest of the bike with all the skull logo stuff but the PO didn't go over board. The salesman said 30K service was just done. We found the paper work on the service in the tour pack along with he had purchased a rear tire at the same time.

The bike is black, added speakers to rear seat, anti lock brakes, cruise, crome rims, 2 wind shields, salesman thinks he remembers PO said motor had a 103 upgrade, thunder header pipes, I think a thunder tuner.

Going from a sporty to a electra glide is a lot of differance, especially the ride. The wife likes the ride also. She has plans of learning to drive it but for now she will stay with her sporty.

I wish I had pictures, I know how we all like pictures, but I,m not that computer literate--Like I started out "Geezer Glide" for the old geezer.
