Default She's here!

Picked up my Road Glide on Friday. I put 218 miles on her yesterday and all I can say is WOW! This is truly one fine piece of machinery, the ride is great, smooth and stable. Handling is even better than my RK, I don't know if that's due to the 12 inch apes. I plan on taking some nice road trips with my big blue pearl. I had over 50,000 trouble free miles on my 2010 RK, I just hope this bike equals that.

I'm having problems uploading pictures, I keep getting a fail message, will post pictures as soon as I figure this out.

You'll never go back Gonzy. The RG is the best handling touring machine out there.

Only thing better than a new RG would be 2 new RG's.
