You think you made a mistake.

I really screwed up when I was talking to the GM and shared the details of my fantasy Road King setup.

He's just sneaky enough to order one with exactly those options, and make me come down there and sit on it.

I've been here. . .what worked for me was finding the CVO Roadglide and then realizing it could be done but in three years. I took my downpayment and upgraded the 06 RK. She's a seriously crispy Marshmallow now

I enjoy riding them all! I love my Road King. I never road a fairing bike but I dig the styling of the Road Glide. I also want to turbo a Dyna. Then there is the whole other world of older Harley Davidsons that I would also like to have and ride. 1 big problem. Money

LMAO I went to the dealership for a T-shirt and came out with a new ride. I gotta stay away from those places. Time to ride, great weather today.

Went on a canyon run (PA Grand Canyon) with some freinds in memory of a freind who loved that run. We stop at a couple of HD Shops. First place I looked at bikes but never though of buying second place just for the hell of it I asked what would they give me for trade in. 89 Ultra to my surprise offer was $2000 higher then what I had into. So hell I went back to first placed and asked they offer $200 more I traded up to a FLHTP 2012 with 3500 miles on it. I love it. I had only own the 89 for about a year. I still have my 76 FLH which I have had to long 30 plus years to long to part with.

Waiting for the new RGU and I will likely trade my 2013 RGU. Took the RG special for a ride liked what they did to it. I just prefer the RG Ultra for my needs.

Same think happened to me. Now I have a 15 Limited. I kept the 06 RKC with 70K. Going to make it a solo with some 16" apes. You will buy that RG Special.

Maybe in a few years. Income isn't enough for me to pick up another payment. I need to pay off the 04 RKC first and then go from there. I still want to upgrade the camchest and put some new cams in her.
