Had a ‘99, and ‘02 and an ‘09. Now got a ‘17. The M8 is the best so far.

I had a salesman today ask if I rode in and I replied yes.Then here comes the wind up and pitch.I’ll be keeping my 2016 RGS.Ive done to much to it.Salesman told my *** won’t go knumb and my hands won’t tingle from the newer M8 bikes.I told him none of that happens now. I also told him if I’m going to trade it in I’m going across the interstate.Thats where Indian is at.Their bikes are looking sharp and I want to be a little different.I have a friend that has one and he says the motor is extremely hot on his right leg.But they look sharp.

My '06 street Glide is kept in tip-top condition, and is a keeper.
I sold my 2004 MUSTANG COBRA and 1965 FORD RANCHERO since I rarely drove them.
Kept my 2005 FORD RANGER.

I'll trade one of these days when HD gets all the issues fixed, sumping and oil transfer. So for now I'll keep riding my Gray Ghost for awhile. 36,500 miles and counting.

Keeping my 07. With not even 50.000 miles all put on by me and set up the way I want. it just doesn't make sense for to me to trade a perfectly running bike + $25000 to get a new one. I'll continue with updates along the way. In fact I just picked up a Japanese sportster pulley to install with my next tire change. My gearing will then be similar to the 09 and up bikes. The new bikes are nice and I have ridden them they're just not for me but everybody is different. To those that have em enjoy!
