Default Made the Trade

I bought a 2012 Street Bob because I liked it and the OL had no intention of riding. I think she seen how much fun I was having and decided she wanted to come along. Long story even longer I traded the FXDB for a 2012 Heritage now we're both smiling from ear to ear!

Congrats and enjoy your new ride...

I traded in my '09 Street Bob for a new Heritage too...it's been 4 1/2 months ago and I have no regrets at all.

I can't get the wife on the back at all. Come to think of it I can't get the wife on HER back at all either.

Enjoy the new bike!

You made the right choice.

We went from an '06 Sporty to our Heritage.

Now get out the check book and order a Shotgun Shock air suspension system, you and the OL will love it. My wife and I have that on out '12 Heritage and that IS the best mod we have done to the bike,

and no I don't get anything from JD when I talk about the SS system I just really like it and so will you.

Congrats. One of the main reasons I chose a Heritage was for two up riding. I think they are the best looking bike HD makes too so that is a nice bonus.
