Default Traded the bob for the glide

I traded my 2009 Street Bob in on a 2011 Street Glide with the 103 power pack on Monday. I put on 20,700 miles in the last 21 months on the street bob and I decided as much as I have been getting beat up by the wind on the longer trips it was time for a touring bike. So far I love the street glide. I put on 300 miles today and it was a really windy day. I was in great shape when i got back. 300 miles on the street bob on a windy day like today and i would be tired and sore.

Here is a pic of it.

I love your king. I went to my dealer this summer to look at the same bike that was listed on the web as current inventory to only find out it was sold and delivered the day before. Love that color combo. Ended up with sedona orange street glide instead. Nothing ever looks as good as a rkc omho. It's timeless.
