If you think the Road Glide is the red headed step child, check out the FXRT!

RG will be my next HD! After years of metrics, my first HD was going to be what I always was drawn too the RKC and I love the King. Having rented the RG and taken a few test rides over the years I have always found myself drawn to it. Plan is to enjoy the RKC for next 2 years then hand her down to the wife and plop myself on the RG.

Hope they have the orange with black stripe in 2011 or 2012........always like that color on that bike!

Lot of people don't like the way the RG looks.... mostly because they are non-conformists, and they all ride the same non-comformist looking bike..... heck... it's THEIR money.... let them all look alike... in the true non-conformist way....

Yeah, I got one. Changed this and that. Added a few things. Fixed the other things that just didn't work well enough. Added some chrome and made it a little faster.

I still say we need someone to make us a patch. I see patches for many Harleys but not a Roadie...

The patch could read:
My Ride? I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you..

or

My Ride? I could tell you but you probably wouldn't understand.

or

Road Glide
