Default Pulled the trigger - 2011 Electra Glide Classic
Going a little more "Plain Jane" I suppose -- A black, 2011 EGC. Trading in my 2008 Street Glide. Gaining ABS, fat rear and that sweet new frame and a pizza box. Got a very fair deal at the dealer (City Limits - Same place I got my FLHX), payments basically where I was before.

As much as I love the style of the Street Glide, I was always saying "the next bike is going to have a pizza box and ABS..." and as much as I hate to get a sweet new ride this late in the season, at least it's the latest model.

Picking it up early next week (which gives me a day or two to pull off all the parts I'm going to swap over to the EGC).

Eh, just thought I'd share. Can't wait to get everywhere with dry luggage...

I just purchased a road glide Sunday and I agree about purchasing this time of the year. But I say better late than never. Congrats.

Congratulations.

Nothing "Plain Jane" about a Classic IMO nice bike and you will love the new frame - they handle very well.
