Default 2010 Road Glide at last !!

After many years of not riding I decided to buy me a HD. I like the look of a RG so I went looking and brought my lovely wife along, to the local HD dealer. Looked at the RG, but she thought the Ultra classic looked more comfy for her, and only a few Ks more would make more since, so I caved and got the 08 Anniversary model . We took our first trip on the Ultra and see loved riding so much she wanted her own bike . She saw a black 2009 Heritage Soft tail and bought it. I rode it home for her and parked it in the garage.My lovely wife had never ridden any type of motor bike , but said she would take lessons and signed up for a Riders Edge course. She did great in the class but in the first hour of riding the provided Buell Blast, she lost control and wrecked ,and messed up her knee, but she finished the training .When she got home I took her to the ER and the doc told her she completely distroyed her ACL in her knee and needed to see a surgeon. She fully recovered and put 14,000 miles on her bike and I put 28,000miles one up on my Ultra. My lovely wife decided she wanted a 2010 Street glide for all the long rides we do,so we went to the dealer and she got her street glide and I finally got the Road Glide I wanted 2 years ago . Funny how things turnout .
The Road glide is an AWESOME RIDE !!! I,m loven it. My lovely wife aint doin bad herself !!

Thumbs up

Congrats on finally getting the scoot you really wanted all along. Welcome to the "dark side". As for the wifeys bike I can't say anything bad about it either as I also have an '07 SG.
Now the both of you can make plans to go with all of us on this great ride in June.
