I couldn't agree more Leo... and I was laughing as I read through the reasons not to get the 2010... those things are what almost everyone on this forum change either quickly, or over time anyway! I am so in love with the Scarlet Red RGC, that I don't know how much more time can go by without scratching that itch. Of course I will take care of the seat, put a new windshield on, and jack up the rear suspension (and front in time), so there I would be with my latest / greatest love.... or as I call her.... 'my period' - the kind that would last all month, and be nothing but pleasure... not tenderness, no bloating, etc Now if I could just get a decent offer for my bike, I would be off to the races! Anyone interested in a 2009 BEAUTIFUL Road King Classic with TONS of extras?!!?

I have a 2010 Road Glide Custom and I love it. The '09 were just tall for me to be comfortable on. I always like the stance and profile of the street glides but I didn't care for the bat wing. When I saw the new FLTRX, I knew it was the bike for me... even the 2-into-1 pipe. I have a 103 Stage II install scheduled, just waiting on the parts. I traded my 2008 Fat Bob for this. Sure I could made a 2009 into a similar bike but the cost would have ended up about the same and I'd have a one year old bike... I love my '10 road glide.

Well, I love my 09 Black Pearl Road Glide. The only thing I don't like are the wheels and the stupid headlight adjustment. Otherwise, it's a great bike. I like the looks of the 2010 Road Glide, except for the 2 into 1 exhaust. But mine's all paid off and no way am I going to have bike payments for a long time. I would like to demo one though.

My 09 is also Vivid Black. It is a great canvas to start to Paint and customize to make it My Road Glide.

I am getting ready to take the trip back east for the Family Reunion Memorial Day Weekend. I leave tomorrow and return at the end of next week.
