Glide to a King?

I went from a SG to a King, initially because the SG slid down the highway and I didn't want a fixed bike. The dealer didn't have a SG I liked, and because I didn't want to be without wheels too long, I went with a RK. I'm glad I did. It fits me better, and offers nicer ride. I don't miss the tunes all that much.

I started on a Road King built it up, and then bought a Road Glide both are great bikes and for me serve two different purposes. I can jump on the Road Glide and ride 1000 miles and not think twice on my RK, I would do it, but my back would feel it afterwards.

Two completely differnt rides. I can't see getting rid of my Road glide to get something else. I will always keep the Road Glide and my Dyna both. Gotta have the dyna when I want to go out and drag the Thunderheader on the ground and do smokey burnouts. The Road Glide get's me back and forth to work every day. sold my car three years ago and have not missed it.

I'm on a RK now after having had an EGC. My '05 EGC got totalled a couple months ago. I loved that bike in every way. I wanted to try a RK this time as I've always LOVED the look and style of the RK. To me the RK is THE most truely classic motorcycle. I'm very happy with the '09 RK and find it fun, comfortable and love the nostalgic look and "convertible" personality it has - off with the windshield in a few seconds for a true open air ride. In summer my windscreen is rarely on. In winter the windscreen is a wonderful thing of course.
An iPod solves my problem with tunes so I don't really miss anything from the EGC. They're two different bikes and both are fantastic machines in their own right.

UC to RKC
I had and sold a 07' Ultra - a mighty fine bike with a great ride. I just never warmed up to the looks. I'm buying a RKC next. With today's technology tunes, GPS, Bluetooth can easily be solved.
