RE: would you do it again?
I been riding street bikes since the late 70's.....legally since 1980, and just about all were "full size" bikes. Anyhow....I been through many many bikes....in fact if I were asked to state the number, I could never even get close to the correct answer.
So at the end of the 2007 riding season, I was doing a lot of rides with the local HOG chapter as a guest, and many of the guys had touring models....Baggers.....real sweet baggers......baggers that I would ride. Now I dont know if it was the fact that I just turned 45 or what, but I wanted one of those sweet *** baggers. I was getting tired of riding close enough to the next guy so I could at least listen to his music. I wanted a wind shield.....a big thick sofa of a seat.....a bad *** audio system. So last October I bought my first bike ever that had a wind shield.....or bags, or a radio.....a brand new FLHX Street Glide. Now the only thing I am pissed about is that its Winter. I still have my CVO SE-Deuce....and I love that bike just as much as the new Street Glide. It is very sweet having two bikes that are set up so different. One for longer two up rides and touring....and one hot rod that I can still use to throw a bit of fear into the locals with.
Would I do it again.....no. I would do it again, and again and again....and hope to God I can do it for ever. I will always have at least two Harley's from here on it......
Life is just way too short for me not to have what, I want when I want it. I aint waiting any more for something I really want.....who knows...if I dont buy it today, I may never get another chance.

I love my RK and REALLY love taking the windshield off. To me, it is THEN that it looks like a motorcycle. I took a road trip back in the fall and the first thing i missed was my tunes. I bought an after maket cd stereo for about 300 bucks. Chrome speakers. Looks nice.

HECK YEA I would Buy it again. I am Just 30 and have a gold wing I dont think I have ever ridden it without the stereo on? My Sg is new but radio got tuned to a station before I pullued off of the dealers floor! I cant go back to no bags or stereo. No way!!! My Wife can pack that thing full of stuff for a weekend or week long trip. I can ride to work and take my Gym clothes and shower gear with me. I can carry wetweather gear. My pocket fisherman,and still have room for a jacket/ thermals. I Wont go back you cant make me.Oh and I get to poke fun at all them people with stuff bungee corded to their bikes going down the road, waiting for them to have a yard sale! Oh and the Mp3 plug in too.

RE: would you do it again?
I am a 28-year-old w/ an addiction to his Street Glide. I thought fairings where for old people w/ no sense of style. The SG changed my thinking. A radio on a motorcycle was a sin in my family until I pulled up on my SG and now everyone wants it. My SG went bar hopping, went to Yellowstone and even founda wife for me last year. I am rewarding the SG bytaking her tothe Grand Canyon this summer. lol
I am totally biased....for a good reason.

RE: would you do it again?
Rode my Wide Glide for 21 years. Bought my SG in 06 and the WG sits in the garage for friends to ride when they visit. Didn't think I would but I find myself playing the stereo quite a bit.
