Default Traded my EGC for RoadGlide.....
Well, yesterday I traded in my ECG in for a RoadGlide. Have looked at the RoadGlides before and always liked them and finally made the switch and WOW!! I must say, I am very impressed. I ALWAYS loved my EGC but the RoadGlide feels way lighter and handles totally different. Not that I ever felt my EGC was heavy or handled bad, but after driving the RoadGlide with the fairing mounted to the frame instead of the bars/forks it's pretty different. My RoadGlide is Bright orange and think it looks great! I am sad to hear that the RoadGlide is going away for 2010 but I'm sure it will be replaced with something even better. Just hope that parts will be available for this guy for years to come.

Now it's time to start shopping for all the fun parts!!
