Rode to the dealer today for some oil and finally took a test drive on a 2011 Street Bob......Thats pretty much all that it took because they also knocked off a grand from msrp, gave me 7200 for my 2010 Iron and 30 minutes later I was shifting my new 6 speed down the highway with a huge grin. Forgot the feel of a big twin...oh man this thing is just so much better.

Later sporty fans...cya on the other side.

Congrats. Might have spent a little more than you were planning on - but sounds like you are gonna be a happy rider.
