Congratulations and welcome to the dark side - the more you ride it the better it gets.

From what it sounds like, the Glory Days of the Road Glide may be upon us. Seems there is a lot more interest in them now days.

Could be people are tired of seeing so many street glides on the road and looking for something a little different.

There's getting to be so many RG's on the roads that everyone of ya'll start trading them in on Road King's soon just to be different.

Congrat's on your new bike...RG's really are the companies best kept secret.

You not only went to the dark side, you went to the Darkest Side of the Planet. So you've joined the SharkNosers. Well they're a loyal group of enthusiasts, and with more writeups like yours, everyone is going to give em a try. We've heard it before, and I suspect we'll hear it again, "Try it, you'll like it".... Ride safe, and congrats.
