Default Hot Damn New Scoot!

Just traded in my 13 RG custom. While it was a kick a$$ ride and got lots of looks in candy orange, my riding has changed and needed a constant 2up ride. So out I went from a Houston dealer with a 2016 Ultra FLHTCU in vivid black. Boys, got to tell you if you are on the fence about the new Rushmore upgrades; jump.... With both feet! This scoot is in my opinion twice (count that 2 times) better than my 13. From power to smoothness of delivery, to ride, 6.5 boom, bags and overall everything. This is number 6 for me and clearly the best I have ever owned.

Congratulations!

I do just that in a heartbeat... But... Finances aren't the best and I couldn't afford a payment.

My whip is paid for and that's the way I like it.

LoL.....you know I knew I would get a little razzing but honestly I don't miss that nasty over the tank and around the shark nose wind blast and turbulence. It's not as stable tho, can already tell that, but I will get by

I just moved from an 05 Soft Tail Standard to a 15 SGS. Wish I had done it earlier. My riding season is coming to an end way to fast. One top of that, the wife also loves it.
