Default Just got my 2011 FLHX

Just picked up my FLHX Wednesday! Had my 07 Heritage Softail for 5 months (first bike). Seemed like every mod I was trying to do to it was turning it more and more into a SG. Little over a month ago I was visiting a friend that just started working at a Harley dealer and saw my 1st 2011 Sedona Orange Street Glide, aw man just fell in love. Put a halt on all heritage upgrades. Even though I new I was gonna take a hit on the Heritage purchase everyone I talked to said the touring bike was the way to go for me. In 5 months of owning the heritage I put 8500 miles on it. Love 500 - 700 mile solo weekends. I wasn't even out of the parking lot of the dealership on the SG and new that this ride was so much smoother. Got the 103/ABS/Security upgrade and will soon be starting the long list of mods. But better than that is hitting the road in the morning with no destination in mind. Just gonna take a farm market road out until it dead ends!

No real point to make on this post. Just ecstatic about the new bike.
