When they took the bike back to the parking lot, his bike had a note on it saying something like "if you took my bike by mistake, please call...". We saw the note, it was hilarious.

However, the black SG is a great platform to start with. Have fun!

Now that's funny!!!.... But not!

Odd, I have had a Softail Standard for years. I live in Wisconsin & have ridden it to Sturgis twice, Minnesota all the time, & 1 trip to North Carolina then Tennessee & back up. My friend has an Electra Glide that went on all these trips with me. After all the miles he didn't feel any better then I did.

I have a Paul *** bare bones seat from when I'm riding around Wisconsin & a Mustang seat when I am putting on miles. I have never ridden a touring bike, but I also don't have any problems taking mine on long hauls.

Wow! What a nice bike let go and so soon too. I went the opposite way. I owned 2 tourers (09 road king classic and a 11 ultra limited) both were extremely nice bikes for touring; however, I traded them in on my softail and if decided to get another bike it will be another softail (fatboy). The softails are beautiful bikes and makes you feel connected to the road and a properly tuned b engine is smooth as glass all the way up to the triple digits. I put a lot of miles on tourers so I know they are some of the best motorcycles you can get so I am sure you will enjoy your street glide. Good luck and don't forget to stop in every now and again
