Congrats! I went from an 06 Deuce, which I loved, to my Street Glide. What a difference. I never knew that such a heavy bike would handle and ride so much better than the softail!

Congrats and enjoy!!! Still have yet to see a SG in Midnight Pearl. Loved the color when I first saw it two-tone on the 2012 Fat Boy last year.

You're right, the Road Glide is definitely the best bike to ride, period.

Oh wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.

Nvm.

Congrats on the new scoot!!! Also, you've only made the down payment and you can really bring that 103 to life with a little coin sometime in the future.

Congrats on the new ride. I came from an FXSTB Night Train to a SG and the difference is... staggering. Like that above poster said, I had no idea that such a heavy bike could corner and handle like the Street Glide. I bought it with around 2500 on the ODO in mid-August and I just passed 4200. I like to ride it. Everyday. All the time.
