Cool Thinking RG
Well, It's been about a month since my accident, and I have about three more weeks withthe boot on. In the meantime, my Indy is making my Ultra look like a new one. But I am going to a bike with ABS, and as I've been looking, the RG Ultra is starting to attract my attention. I never even liked them before, but something about it is growing on me. Am I drifting toward the deep "Dark Side"?

Embrace the "darkness"...lol.

IMHO the RGU is one of the best values in the HD lineup.

No doubt that the Road Glide is a terrific bike! Compared to your Ultra Classic it will seem roomier and handle a little lighter. Some folks spend a fair amount of time swapping out windshields and seats to dial in the wind management, but once that's done you'll have a great bike that you will really enjoy!

The Road Glide Ultra sure has my attention. It did not exist when I bought my bike, but it may be my next bike.

Take a test ride. You'll either love it or hate it. There's no in between on a road glide. Glad you're healing up.
