Default Huge Mistake

I rented a 2009 RG for the weekend. Just returned from a 400 mile round trip and this is a very impressive machine. I am going to hate returning it on Monday morning.

I have been looking at these for some time and kicking around the idea of purchasing one, that is why I decided to rent one for an extended trial run.

I guess now I will have to put one of my kidneys on ebay so I can follow through and make the purchase. I should have never rented this thing

I just cracked 100 miles on my new '09 Road Glide this morning. I love my '02 RKC, but this Road Glide is one awesome riding bike. HD really has made some great improvements with these new bikes.

And black still is the fastest!

Road Glides are the best touring bikes HD makes.

Thats why I never ride anyones bike. Or rent anything other than what I own. It's to easy to fall in complete love with the other bike.
