Default Took the Plunge

Well after months of inner debate and turmoil I bought it, 2012 Street Glide, Big Pearl Blue, ABS, and cruise. Traded in my 11 FXDC with only 3200 miles. Ok, Ok, before the responses come that this thread is useless without pics, I don't pick it up until next Saturday. Bought it at Myers Duren again and they were sold out of this model with the options I wanted so they are trading with another dealer to get it. Looking forward to picking it and once I do I will post pic's. The Dyna was a great bike, but I wanted ABS. My Goldwing has it and jumping between that and the Dyna was challenging sometimes when the need to stop quickly came about. Looking forward to taking a solo trip this year, the Wing is for when the wife rides with as I pull the trailer to handle everything she brings. I will post the pic's next Saturday (unless they are able to get the bike so I can pick it up Tuesday).
