You got that right!! $3000 under MSRP ain't to shabby.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone.

It will be fun to ride it over here to since the German HD dealers have not sold the RG model in a few years and there are not too many of them.

 

You got that right. For me there is no other HD touring bike and now I have Corvette (Sporty) and the Cadillac (Road Glide) of HD which will soon become a Road Glide Ultra Classic! It does not matter that us RG riders know the truth and talk about it. They are almost like owning a Sporty (HDs even better secret!)....if I have to explain it...you just would not understand.

I actually started my life in Germany stationed with the 26th QMS Co (485th CSB) in Hanau and retired from there. They were on Pioneer Kaserne when I got there in 1995 and we immediatly deployed to Bosnia. When we got back from Operation Joint Endeavor we were in Hutier Kasern and I lived in Gelnhausen where I met the most beautiful German woman to ever be born, married her, and am living happily ever after. I am a GS-12 now and live in a little town called St. Leon-Rot which is about 25 KM south of Heidelberg.

 

Way cool Bert! I've been to St Leon-Rot.

I spent 3 months training in Waldorf several years ago. I got to know the backroad from Waldor to Heidleberg QUITE WELL!

I also attanded a SuperBike race weekend at Hockenheim while I was there. I've never seen so many crotch rockets in my life!!! Seems like on normal days, folks would take their personal cars / bikes out on the track.... You ever been able to do that?

They have BIG mugs (Steins) over there & LOTs of them!

Congrats on the RG & enjoy!

 

Yeah, I used to run my Dodge SRT4 at Hockenheim on Thursday evenings when they open to the public but got tired of buying new tires every three to four months. And damn that car sucks the gas on the track. I would go through 1 liter every lap and Shell 100+ octane gas (which is all they sell at the thrack) is freakin' almost $8.00 a gallon here! Plus I have seen too many people put their daily driver in the wall, wipe out someone else or visa-versa. Happens almost every time. Then you have those guys that buy a beat up 20 year Opel Kadett, soup up the engine to about 300 HP, throw in a roll cage and go ***** to the walls around the track. They do not care what gets in their way and if you see them in your rear view you better just slow down and get over to the right. One of the last times I drove out there a nice new Ferrari lined up behind me and I figured he would blow by my before the first curve. Well, he didn't and I never saw him again...I guess he got smart and pulled off after one lap. A Mercedes S500 also wiped out into another car right behind me that day so I figured I should quit driving there while my SRT4 is still intact.

And the Zoom-Splats...oh my GOD! They put anywhere from 300 to 400 of them out there at a time and there is no telling what is gonna happen. They are all okay for about the first 10 or 15 laps but then they start getting tired and they are too foolish to ride into the pits. Around the 20th lap there are at least 4 or 5 in the rocks and then it take about 15 minutes for a truck and trailer to go around the track picking up the wrecked bikes.

I saw one knucklehead out there on an old FX something or other (could have even been a knucklehead motor in it! ) on the track with the zoom-splats, with forward controls even!....he putted around for two laps and then had the good sense to pull into the pits.

Now I just go and watch but have thought of taking the Sporty out there since it now has Chainsikle rear sets and a Daytona steering damper.



They are starting up for the winter public driving/riding this Sunday and every Sunday until Spring. Driving/Riding there in the Winter is much nicer. Cars and bikes share the track and there is not much traffic.

 

How cool the bike looks right out of the crate! Enjoy!

 

Nice bike...same color as mine too. I bought my 06 Road Glide last sping and am just about to reach 10,000 miles on it. Youre gonna love it!

Nice scoot. I love my RKC but my next bike will be a Roadie. Ride safe my friend.

 

Nice looking bike even in its stock form. I kind of wish that they did not change the stripe on the front fairing in 07. I like the old stripe better on the older models than the upside down Nike design on the 07s.

Congrats and enjoy.

 

Congrat GB, welcome to the RG family.
