Default Bought a 2010 Road Glide Sat. morning...NICE
Went to visit my favorite dealer this Sat. a.m. just to say high. Rode in on my 09 Super Glide Custom, which I bought from him in Feb. When I left 3 hours later I was riding a brand new 2010 Road Glide Custom (black of course). What a great ride !!! 5th gear is no louder than the other 5 gears, and the heat management verses my 07 EGC is very good. The stubby wind shield works great. No buffeting, even when I briefly hit 65-70 on the super slab on the way home. I don't care for the handle bars. They look great, but they kill my neck & shoulders (I'm almost 62). Overall I'm very impressed, and totaly pleased with my new scoot.

I think right now is a great time to trade. The dealers don't seem to know just how bad the economy is and is still giving great prices on trade ins. Compared to what I would think anyway.
