Default Well... pulled the trigger

Traded in my Deluxe & bought a Black Pearl 09 Street Glide...

I rode one the other day and was so impressed I just couldn't shake it... It handled so much better than the Deluxe... Plus the bags, fairing, I commute year 'round here in the PacNW and I think its a better fit for me.

I'll post some pics up tomorrow... but I'm stuck at work for the rest of the day and its absolutely beautiful today (argh!).

I basically got MSRP for my trade, so I'm pretty stoked.

Congratulations on the bike. You'll never look back!

But you missed something in all this.........you were supposed to take today off and go put the break in miles on it.

Congrats on the new ride. When i saw that color in the sun at the dealer it was the color for me. Had mine about 2 months now & love it. Just spent 2 hours waxing it this afternoon then went for a 100 mile ride. Couldn't let it just sit there looking that good. Feel better now. Her id what it looked like before the ride.
