Well after much discussion and contemplation, the wife and I traded in the 2012 FatBoy Lo for a new street glide.

Granted I only had 1700 miles on the bike, with some upgrades (pipes, apes, etc), but since i did all the work myslef and did not purchase an extended warranty - i got a good trade in value on it and only needed to pay an additional 2k to get a new street glide.

i learned a lot from you folks and this is by far the best set of forums i have visited!

This was my first Harley and i will miss her - but I am sure we will also enjoy the new wheels just as much.

Over to the touring forums i go - but I will continue to visit here as nothing says "badass" like a softail - who know... maybe someday I will get another!

I guess im going to craiglsit the stock bars and pipes so i can buy some new goodies for the street glide!

thanks all!!! it has been fun!

 

See ya enjoy the new ride

 

Congrats. I sat on one last year and it felt comfortable just sitting on it.
I didn't ask for a test ride since I wasn't ready to add a third bike yet.

 

Welcome to the Geezer side of life!!

You won't miss your FB low for too long.

 

Been there done that and for me when I add another bike it will be another softail but congrats and I hope you enjoy the new wheels.

 

Congrats on the new street glide, it seems that's the common trend around here. I use to think the street and road glides were hideous machines but then they started growing on me and the endless potential they have when customizing them. Not to mention the bags and the comfort. In retrospect I would of jumped on a bagger from the get go. Good luck and hope to see pics of the SG. Ride safe!

 

I rode an SE Street glide last weekend.....

Happy to say I'll be a softail guy for a long time.



Good luck with your new purchase.....

 

I like the Street Glide over the other dressers but not over the Fat Boy Lo. But, that's me. Enjoy the new bike!

 

You will not be missed here, so don't let the door hit you on the way out! Just messin'.

I've mildly been contemplating the same thing, except a RK.

Good luck and enjoy.

 

Hope you enjoy the SG. I almost got one but I'm glad the FB won out.
