Default 2011 roadglide

well guys today was the big day i picked up my roadglide and i rode till i clicked 200 miles today. it was the best experiance on a bike ive had and i will tell ya the stock seat is very comfortable iam 5"8 and both my feet were planted and knees bent. the handling was great with the 18 in the front when u come out of a nice sweeping turn and it comes up real quick. so twisties will be a pleasure. rode it stop let cool and got back on her again did that several times would ride at 55 60 65 and 70. iam very happy i made this choice and i dont regret letting my streetglide go. it was a good bike never had any problems with it. the rodie really shines in windy passes went through a few today. and it didnt even phase the bike at all. i did own a 2008 rodie but it didnt compare to this one i have now. i think its the 18 inch front wheel. the running boards are wider and longer no passenger boards it has pegs.and this color sedona orange all i can say is wow at least 8 people asked what the color was and what a nice color it is. all kinds of complements today iam very proud of this machine. came home late tonight so i will post pics tomorrow. the stance this bike has it looks very low. anyway its getting late and iam tired just wanted to share my experiance with u guys.
