Default So Long Old Friend

I sold my 05 Softail Deluxe yesterday. After 55K miles we finally parted ways. Now it is just me and the Electraglide. Two bikes in the garage was just not economical so now I will remain a focused member of team touring. I've enjoyed it.

You had a nice Deluxe! The new owner will be very happy.

Enjoy your time with the ElectroGlide, and don't be a stranger here.

The EG is very nice. Dustmaker, is that a new wheel on your bike?

I let it go for an even 10G's. It was for a close friend so I didn't even consider haggling over a price.

Actually I have a few more goodies in mind for the EGC for this winter. I am expecting my stretched saddlebags in from UPS tomorrow. I can't wait to get them painted and see what they look like on the bike.
