well i took your advice about booking a test ride on both bikes the (nightrain and the streetglide), well lets just say the streetglide won hands down this is will be my next bike, just got to sort the money out "oh a convince the other-half".
Can't go wrong with the SG and welcome to the SG family. Just tell her that the therapist at your job said you need to ride a SG to become more romantic and a better husband.
For my wife all it took was that first ride. That didn't happen until the bike was home but she's hooked now. I've had her call me at work to ask if we're riding after work. Came home one day last week and she was in the driveway waiting on me. It's all good.
Great choice. You won't be sorry after you first 200-300 mile ride. Your wife will want a different seat though. The streetglide passanger seat isn't that comfortable.
You will love the street glide. I agree with the others, order your sundowner street glide seat and passenger backrest with the bike. The stock street glide seat looks good but is worthless for a passenger.
I am trading my Night Train in for a 2006 Street Glide next month. I'm counting the days....
I can relate to the wife. A year ago when I wanted to buy the NT my wife was in tears over me getting it. At the time I had too many toys already. Well persistance won and I ended up buying it. Once I added a backrest and better seat for her we rode all of the time. She later told me that she was glad that I bought it as she really enjoys it. We now have couples that we ride together with. Get your wife involved. Ensure not to leave her out of the process. If you do these things, she will be a lot more supportive of the decision.
