Converted!!!!
So.... I have always been a sportbike guy and now not so much. I have been riding motorcycles since I could balance a bicycle (dirtbikes and once old enough, sportbikes). Did some local racing and track days. I was one that always said I would never own one of those old Harleys. A friend of mine had a E Glide Classic and tried really hard to get me to ride it. After a while I broke down and took it for a weekend with the wife. Needles to say, two weeks later I bought a 06 E Glide Classic. 6 months later I traded it in and got a 09. Now I know what all of the brew ha was about.

Harleys and sport bikes both have a lot of attitude. In that respect, they're similar. I think of sport bikes more like sports cars, and Harleys more like hot rods. Speaking for myself, I finally settled on my Harley as my sole bike primarily because it's a lot more comfortable to ride a distance than any of my sport, or sport-touring bikes were. Plus, there's something about owning a bike that's super fast that came to seem either fool-hardy, or pointless to me. Like fm58 said, post a pic and let us see your ride.

The wife and I have done a few 1k mile trips. There is no way I could have done that on a sportbike. You are right about the kids. I dont have any problem putting them on the EGlide.
The need for comfort tends to out weigh the need for speed as the years go by, congratulations.
