Now with something over 1600 miles on my two week old Road Glide Custom... my wife and I are thrilled with the comfort and the ride. We both noticed that we can ride longer with noticible less fatigue than with our 2004 Road King Custom. This bike has a voracious appetite to gobble miles and bring every horizon our way. We are totally thrilled with this choice of bike and wouldn't have it any other way, cost no object.

I agree on the comfort of the RG. It's great.

1600 in two weeks would be a fair amount of riding, but when you figure in the amount fo time you're on the forum posting it's amazing!

Ooops... that's 3 weeks! With winter coming, I'm makin' hay while the sun shines, as they say.

And yes, I love this forum. With the new bike there's been a lot I'm trying to learn and sort out. Members here have been incredibly helpful. Once I get things dialed in on the bike as I want them, I'm sure I won't be asking so many questions!
