Default New Heritage Classic

Well, I traded my Sporty for a 2012 Heritage Classic today. I'm blaming uklauren LOL. Yes, Lauren, I saw you traded your's at the 1000 mile checkup. Well, at least I made it to 2500! Actually, I should have bought the Heritage up front, but I didn't argue hard enough and my wife limited my expenditure. This time I whined liked a little boy and got my way! She's probably shaking her head and thinking 31 years married is too much time put in to get rid of me now ...I know it's not my looks or money.

Seriously though, thank you, Lauren. That Heritage you traded up to looked so good and I knew I wanted a bigger bike. When I saw yours, I decided that was what I wanted. The ride is night and day difference and my wife actually said "wow" when she sat on the pillion.

Of course I can never again ask for anything more than a gum ball, but I'm a happy camper.

And, yes, Dickey, I know your thoughts on marriage and women LOL. Guess I'm whipped

I have one also (2012 FLSTC) , 1st Harley, long time rider. Well kinda, took a break for about 25 years and then went right after the HD in April this year.
One of these days, I'll post a pic, but it's bone stock so I think y'all know what it looks like?

ha, well congrats to you. I am totally in love with my week old Heritage, it's like riding in an armchair instead of sitting on a bike. First couple of days I was a bit nervous with the extra weight but I've been commuting to work and rode all weekend and am much more confident on tight turns.
What color did you get? Stoked for you. Ride safe

This seems to be fairly common. I went ahead and went straight for the street glide. Congrats though. That heritage is awesome. How untasteful was the rape scene at the dealership with the trade in?
