Talking 2013 SG has arrived!

The new 2013 SG has arrived and made it to my garage. I had to ride it home in the rain. I hated to see the brand new bike get dirty but it will wash. Obviously do not have a lot of miles on it but my initial opinion is WOW. This thing is awesome. Love the MGS True Duals. Definately heavier in the front end compared to the Dyna, which I realized while pulling it off the porch of the dealership. Could have been bad. An inch lower seat will help me out on that. Almost flat footed. I just need to get the feel of the new ride. The floor boards are going to take a little while to get used to as well. I will post some pics once I get it cleaned up a little bit. This Bagger thing is going to be ok!

Congrats!!! I rode my new Ultra home 2 1/2 hours in the pouring rain last August with my wife on the back (and we did not bring rain gear because it was not supposed to rain...) Had to stop off at the outlets about an hour into the ride and bought her a new coach purse, the rest of the ride was a breeze...

Enjoy your new ride
