RE: 08SG with 15k miles already!!!!
The point in having the bike is ride it and have fun. You have a two year warranty....even more if you bought the extended option (which I did). Ride the crap out of it. I bought my 07 FLHTC on Feb 23, 2007. I now have 22,000 miles on it. I have no plans to slow down now. When the five year warranty is done, I trade this one in.

Just curious as I just rolled out of the dealer on a 2008 Electra Glide Classic, 480 Miles on it WoW!! Have ya had any problems with yours? On mine the few issues,
[ol][*]Flucutuating Idle, between 800-1100RPM's dealer fixed that much better now![*]Rear Brakes squeak, dealer claims not much he can do I heard floating rotors and different pads may help?[*]Cruise just stopped working, Installed by dealer not from factory, dropped off bike tonight for them to fix it!![/ol]
Other than that I love it, bigger motor,more power, 6 sp Trans, Bremo Brakes, better than the 05 Road King I sold to get this baby, thanks Bill

NO NO NO !!!! Park that thing IMMEDIATELY!!!! don't you know that the '08 bikes are dangerous and will kill you?
Haven't you been reading the forum? The TBW will kill you or the ABS, if you have it...you might not want to tell because that means your riding skills aren't up to snuff, will not let you stop in time and kill you.
Gosh so glad I caught you befor something bad happened!

Unfortunately I've had some really bad luck, weather, and illnesses so I'm only averaging 500 miles a month[:@] Hoping that will get better soon though.... [8D]
