Default RE: New Electra glide

Congrats, I'm 33 and just bought an 07 EG std 12/22/06, I've dreamed for years of going on long trips and I knew this was the bike that would take me there. I wish I did it at 23, But didn't have the money.
My mom calls it a geezer glide, (but she's just playin) she rides a GW and she is a geezer.ha ha.

Bought my first bagger, a 1956 HydraGlide, when I was 21. Nothing like 'em. Been riding baggers ever since and I am 65.[8D]

jockdawg, don't worry about the heat, that is only coming from people that haven't ridden a bagger themselves. I'm 36 and wouldn't trade my bagger for anything.
