That was what drew me in. Loved the color and the fact it was the different style. Liked the fact before that I could pick my Superglide out from a crowd and I still should be able to with the new bike as well.

You most definitely will brother! Make sure you head on over to www.roadglide.org and welcome yourself there as well if you havent already done so. Thats another nice thing about getting a roadie, we have our own site exclusive to us. Also, welcome to the shark tank...I forgot to tell you that earlier!

Nice ride. You're going to love it to pieces. Nothing quite like taking a trip with your Brother on the scoots. I've done it many times, and it's something I'll always treasure. Best to both of you, and ride safe, there's some crazies out there. You've got to watch out for them.

If you strap two baggers together they will look like the batmobile.

Congrats on your new Road Glide Ultra.

I know the more I ride my new Road Glide Custom, the more I like it. I hope you find the same with your Ultra.

Good luck.

Can't wait to get started!
Sounds like a fun trip.
