Heritage Classic
The first harley I rode was a 1999 Heritage Classic. I fell in love with the way the bike handled and decided if I ever bought a harley it woud the Classic. Well, it didn't work out quite that way. My first harley was a 97' dyna wide glide which I still ride. Last year I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and suffered a mild heart attack and questioned my future life. I started looking at the new harleys and always focused on the Classic. I just couldn't stand it any longer and purchased a 2010 in silver pearl. It is the easiest and smoothest bike I have ever rode and I have been riding for over 50 years. I researched various slipon mufflers and finally decided on "Full Boar" mufflers. The sound and quality is awesome and no retuning is required unless I change to a free flowing air filter. I am very happy with my new ride.

I did read your post, and i am envious you were able to do that long of a trip! Im good for only about 3 hours without having back issues (i have no backrest)
I am hesitant to even think of a long distance trip because i notice the comfort speed of my bike is 70-80, i know on some of those open roads the speed limit is either very high, or non-existent haha.
So for now im just staying local, or within a 3-4 hour radius

You should try getting a Lazy Rider bag for your back,It just straps on with a couple of bungee straps, easy on and easy off. It's get for long rides! Here is the Webb address http://www.lazyrider.com/lazy_rider_bag_pics.asp

I have a 2011 Heritage and, LOVE IT!!! Great ride, easy maneuvering and low center of gravity. More comfortable than ever now that I installed a "Grasshopper Ltd." backrest.
