Default Got me a Road Glide

Went through Topeka Harley and got a great deal. I've owned a SuperGlide, Street Glide and a Fat Boy Lo prior to this and hands down this is the best ride. I know why Road Glide owners are quick to praise the Shark Nose!

Congrats on the new scoot!

It's always a blast to have a new sled, and a fine one at that!

Welcome to the ever growing "Shark Tank".

Enjoy and Ride Safe,

nice ride.

first mod-get a real windshield. that toenail sucks ***. i couldn't hear the radio above 35mph with that thing.

2nd mod-if you ride 2 up with your lady, she's gonna want a better pillion to sit on. my wife said the stock pillion felt like sitting on a softball. 10 miles and she wanted off!

Great looking Scooter. "Welcome to the Shark Tank. Home of the fugly" A 2012 RGU folllowed me home back in May and I honestly an so happy with this bike.

Good Luck and take a look at www.roadglide.org Dedicated to the shark nose. Great info and another great group just like this forum.
