Unhappy Said goodbye last night

Last night my 2012 BBP Street Glide was picked up by the transportation company and is off to her new owner in Chicago. Didn't really want to give her up but sometimes life throws you a curve ball and you gotta do what you gotta do. The separation was made a little easier with the fact I already have my new RG Ultra in the garage. And the beauty of it is I didn't have to trade. Hope the new owner enjoys her as much as I did. He bought her from here on the forum. Hope he takes a minute to post some pics when she arrives.

A door closes, a window opens.

Grats to both you and the new owner.

At least you are not having to give up two wheels altogether. Congrats to new owner and you on your new ride.

glad you were able to sell it this late in the season as uposed to having to trade it in. sure was a nice bike but like others said one door closed as one opened. congrats. did you post pics of the new road glide? since having my 12 street glide i feel i didnt give the road glide a chance. never even test drove it. i felt, at the time, they were fugly. but every time i am in harley i am drawn to the candy orange road glide. i feel as i should of at least test drove it before deciding on the street glide.

Congrats! I couldn't help but notice the strapping technique the shipper used. Did he add any more straps after the pics or was that it (1 on the front wheel & 1 each on the crash bars)?
