Default Surprised
Hello guys,new to the Touring group. Not to the forum. I have gone through the right of passage, Sportster, Dyna, now touring. Had a Street Bob for 3 years. But yesterday my wife surprised me with a new 09 Road Glide. I have been thinking of going to the baggers, all our riding buddies ride baggers. So I had been looking at a black RG on the floor, turns out that it is the Demo bike. I by the way, run the Demos for Manchester Harley here in New Hampshire. So alot of the 450 miles already on the bike were mine anyway. So I swing by yesterday to see my wife before a ride, (she works part time at Manchester HD) and as I pull in there is the bike sitting outside with ballons on it, sold. Aw crap, well I can keep looking. So I head in and here she comes out of the office with a big smile. And pulls me back outside and says surprise. WOW, blown away. I have the best wife, hands down. I will put up some picture when I get them. So long to the Street Bob, loved every mile. Hello tourning. Hope to learn and laugh with you guys.

Man if my wife bought me a Road Glide I'd be worried she was going to dump me for somebody with a Street Glide,LOL. Seriously great choice, and your are lucky guy. Now the pics.

Now that is definitely a wife that is a keeper. I just traded my 08 Sportster for an 09 Road Glide at the urging of my wife ---- ( I think she was a little cramped riding 2-up on the Sporty).

Welcome to the bagger bunch from Manchester. Were those orange and black ballons blowing away yours?

She made a great choice in a bike, and you obviously made a great choice in a wife. Enjoy.
