Default First Bagger

Just picked up my first bagger yesterday. Candy orange 2013 FLTRX. Got a great deal on the trade, 1k service and a gift card thrown in. Traded in my fatboy for it and I'm so glad I did! Such a wonderful smooth ride in a really nimble package. I took the long way home from the dealership to ride the twistiest roads I know of in the Seattle area and she handled like a champ. I felt like I could throw it around as easily as my old Triumph cafe racer on that road. I couldn't believe in was double the weight based on how it ate those curves up. All while having some sweet jams blasting from the radio. I'll be riding baggers until they invent hoverbikes.

Here's the only pic I have. I stopped by some friends' house on the way back into town everyone wanted to sit on it. This is her "badass biker face":

Now the next step: to decide what parts to spend that gift card on

And a lot of people won't believe how nimble these bikes are. Of course that's the people who have never ridden a touring Harley. Ride on!
