Default Couldn't Help Myself
Just decided to quit messing around with a decision - So I told them "Screw it I'll buy it." Got myself an early Christmas Present tonight. Traded in my 2010 Fatbob for a 2011 Road Glide Ultra about 3 hours ago.

From the ride home - about 15 miles - it's like night and day between the Dyna and this one. Will take it to work tomorrow and see how it does on the highway.

Good job OldSalty, I bought one same model, same color two weeks back and really enjoying it. Gadget working comes easy, first one to learn is how to operate the music..

Merry Christmas....
