Default Great to be back!
Just went out this weekend and picked up a 2011 streetglide! I had a roadking years back but went the way of a dyna and a softail until I couldn't handle the nagging inside my head about not being on a bagger. Got the wife on board and waited and watched until we found the one. Ill post up some picks soon as I can. If I even know how. I can hardly sit still but sadly im in the middle of Minnesota and the middle of winter. Spring cant come soon enough!

Default Welcome
I know how you feel. I have a 2013 midnight pearl street glide I just got, and this time of year sucks for riding. Got to put 300 miles on it anyway before too much snow. I had a 2011 wide glide and traded it on the street glide. Had the same nagging feeling about getting a bagger. I loved the look of the wide glide but the ride was still like riding my old Harley back in the 80's. The street glide is smooth and handles great. When I'm on it I dont want to get off. My comparision is the wide glide is like an old sports car and the street glide is like a new luxury ride. Cant wait till spring. Enjoy
