Default Geezer Glide Mafia

I was made an offer I couldn’t refuse and I’m part of the Geezer Glide Mafia now, well not really. My bud Charlie and I decided to go for a ride down to Buddy Stubbs Harley Davidson, big mistake J. Anyway I see this 2011 Electra Glide Ultra Limited FLHTK (that’s a mouthful) with 7300 miles and I thought that’s a really nice looking bike, you know what happened next. Two hours later the Road King was gone and I rode home on my new bike to me.


The Road King was running fine but after more than 62,000 miles it was starting to feel old. I did the Stage One on my RK but I think this pulls nicer. I wasn’t sure if there would be that big of a difference but I’m down shifting a whole lot less with the 103 motor. I’ve now rode more than 600 miles and I can say the motor is a big improvement over the 96 motor.

Styling wise I think the Road King is a nicer bike, but the Limited is hands down better when comparing function over form. Small things like a power outlet in the trunk, the heated grips or the Aux port for an MP3 player really add up to nice conveniences.


Now to start planning some trips, I think the miles are going to go by easier with this full on touring bike. Already it’s less fatiguing than the Road King and that was the most comfortable bike I’ve ever owned. I’m starting to get this comfort thing now that I own a Geezer Glide.

Here are some pictures because somone will tell me I need too.

Geezer? WTH Over? I was mid 30s with my first Electra Glide. With age comes wisdom, but you don't have to wait till you're old before you exercise some. Kids of all ages are welcome into this club...congrats!

Brother, that is one fine ride, and I know what you are saying re: the 103 vs the 96.

Ride Safe-

Welcome to the Geezer Glide Club. I been looking at the newer ones with the 103 but I have my '09 set up the way I want even though I have 54,000 miles on her. Nice Scoot.
