In March, I traded my trusty 2004 Dyna for a brand new Road Glide with the 103 engine. It has been a dream. I love it. I have not one regret for going bagger. Guess I was ready.

Anyone else have this experience?

I bought my first H-D in December '10 and have not looked back.

I bought my first Harley, 2010 Dyna, and 6 months later traded it in for an Ultra Limited. I rode dirt bikes was I was younger so the Dyna was a big bike to me. Love the limited, no regrets on going bigger.

The road glides must be getting real popular, every dealer I go into is hit or miss if they have any in stock.

Went from a Fat Boy to a Street Glide 4 years ago and don't have one regret.

I went from a Low Rider to my first Electra Glide in 1995. I have never had any regrets yet.

Last year I went from an '08 Softail Deluxe to an '11 Road King Classic. The touring class bikes are the final destination for me.

I just traded my 09 Night Train in for a 2012 Road Glide Custom about a month ago. I don't for a minute regret doing it. Love the ride and the extra room.

Traded my 07 FatBoy for an Ultra in June, no regrets, just have to get the stage 1 so it doesn't sound like a Honda.
