Cool New 2011 Street Glide!!
So...I have had a 2010 CVO Softail Convertible for a year now and just cant take it any more. I need to get back on a Touring bike, don't get me wrong it was a blast to ride but it was a ton of money for a Softail.

I missed having a bigger bike for the comfort on many levels. The wind just beats the hell out of you on that bike for some reason, I have had other softails and none tore you up like this one.

I go and close tomorrow and I think the bike will be delivered Wed or Thurs.

I will get some photos up as soon as it arrives. We are running out of riding season very fast here so I will only change windshield for now.

Then let the mods begin in the spring.

I did the same thing. I bought a new Road King Classic in 2008 and then bought a new FXCW in 2009 and sold the King. The FXCW was an awesome bike and the funnest bike I have ever ridden but it sucked to take trips on it. I have since sold the FXCW and bought a 201 FLTRX. I plan on laying down some serious miles next summer touring Europe.
