Default I Pulled the Trigger!
Spoke with JD this morning and ordered my Shotgun Shock!

After weeks of debating trading in/selling my Train and getting a Street Glide, I decided that I'd always regret letting go of it. It seemed to make more sense to spend a small amount (relatively) of money to make her more comfy than to enter into another payment situation. She's paid off and all mine. Why owe a bank again?

So excited.

I'll be happy with even a modicum of a better ride. It'll make all the difference on my bike.

Lol! You know- after some random dude in a car next to me on Rt. 17 honked his horn and gave me the thumbs up/devil horns/pointed finger/fist in the air about my bike, I decided I just HAD to keep her. The SS will just put her over the top.

For some it takes a little bit of a learning curve to dial it in. It took me a few times to learn the system.
