You will enjoy your riding experience that much more now. I started on a SuperGlide before I bought my first touring bike. No comparison.

getting older I had no choice about but consider the other option I am glad to be older. Growing up was an option I never selected but my Ultras r 1t class rides and that's nice. Enjoy your new scooter

Still can't believe I did it! Went out this morning to make sure she was still in the garage. LOL

Not many things I want to do differently to her - I'm sure that will change in time. It is used, and the previous owner did some sweet things to her.

Just need to get out and ride now.............

You'll dig it especially on the long hauls. Geiser Glides are comfortable.
