Default Well, here I am....

...part of the touring crowd. I took a 3 year vacation from touring bikes (previously an 05 RK) and started playing with V-Rods. First it was an 06 Night Rod, then it was an 08 Night Rod Special. I spent alot of $$$ playing with those 2 bikes. I still think them V's are some of the baddest bikes on the road....However, its time to do some loooonnng rides and toss the wife on the back to make the trips more enjoyable. Today I finally closed the deal on an 09 Electra Glide Standard. It's denim black, cruise, ABS, and a few dealer add ons. ( I posted earlier about my dealer rant) I guess the weekend was enough for the dealer and he dropped the price of the new bike to something I could afford....anyways enough talking, here are some crappy pics...

Nice Chris. Glad it worked out and I am sure the guys over on 1130cc will be happy with the parts your selling from the V Rod. The Rods are fun but the baggers feel sooo good!
Congrats!
