OK, got my EGS in Black Denim and it was delivered two days ago -- photos will be up this weekend -- it's been in the mid 30's here and I have been riding my fool head off!! Holy cow the touring bike is THE way to go!! I have a grin ear to ear and I'm stoked!! Best bike I have bought period. EGS, Security, ABS, Cruise and Black Denim -- DAMN!

Get lots of nice comments on the black denim as well -- going to change out to a smoked windshield at 9 " or so and then solo seat and lowering kit this year -- lovin' this bike -- !

Congrats on the new ride. I agree. Touring bike is the ONLY way to go. Glad I learned that at a young age. (30) Still get the "you got a old mans bike". I just laugh and say lets go ride for 10+ hours and see who looks like a old man then Ride well!!

Congrats on your new bike! I kept my softail when I bought the Road King because I wasn't sure if I would ride the Touring model much without the wife. Poor softail, it's kind of in retirement now, just waiting for cruise nights, shows and such.

What bike you you previously have?
