It's so obvious! Why do we have to keep explaining this?

Easy to answer that...the one that puts the biggest smile on your face. Rent a few and one will stand out. Good luck, probably can't go wrong with any of the touring bikes.

You have to ask yourself. Self...do I wanna ride ''The King of the Road'' or do I want to ride a ''Geezer Glide''

Get a black StreetGlide, so you can be different from everyone else.

I would go with a Ultra then make it your own , unless you have the money to go with the Limited . if you sell yours outright you should get more but if you can get a trade you are happy with then it is gone and less worrys

Sounds too simple! Give it a try. You just might have some fun at the same time.

If you are two up often go for the road glide ultra. 20k in a few month on mine and no complaints. IMHO

I know there will be a million different opinions on this, but throw them at me. Should I trade or sell straight out?

My favorite is: 20w50 Mobile 1, Dunlop tires, Rush Exhaust, Mustang seat, K&N oil filter, Syn gear lube in the tranny, Red Line in the primary, Sylvania ilverstar Headlamp, Premium pure gas, Dyna Beads, Blackwalls, Fuel Moto tuner, and Heritages.
