Who broke the code? My bad...
I picked up my road glide over Labor Day. It's my first Harley. I had the chance to ride both a road glide and a street glide back to back this summer. I'm pretty happy with my decision! I broke the code and let my buddy ride it. He now has an '08 black pearl road glide himself.
I purchased my '08 Road Glide aboutfive hours ago. Had no intention whatsoever of trading when I went into the dealer this afternoon to pick up some windshield cleaner. But then I swung a leg over it and got that glazed look in my eyes.... Here we go again!
The former '07 Road King is sitting in the exact place at the dealer that the new Road Glide occupied. Ahhh... such memories!
So now me and theGlide are getting to know each other.... more memories to come!
Stock photo for now - got home too late for pics (and besides, what good is a pick of a stock bike? So now I'm making my list of "essentials"...
Dale, I can see by your other posts that you're already a 'goner' - might as well make a trip down to the dealer. Bring all your paperwork and accessories on your current bike, you'll be leaving on a Glide!
