Default Test ride on a Street Glide

Well took a ride to a HD dealer in Delaware yesterday and saddled up on a 2012 Street Glide myself and the sells rep. on his Street Glide, took a 25 mile ride to get the feel of the bike,folks I think I'm hooked I loved it and it handled quit well,different from my Wide Glide but I expected that.I think there is going to be a Street Glide in garage real soon.I thought after totaling the Wide Glide three weeks ago for sure I would be back on another Wide Glide or something of the sort,my older brother kinda steered me in a different direction and I'm happy he did.

I took one for a test ride last August. 4 hours later I left the dealer owning it. No regrets.

That's what older brothers are for. After you get the bike be sure to thank him for his wisdom.
