Default Satisfied...for now

Was a part of the thread, "why can't I be satisfied with what I have". It really hit home since I have been debating going from my 09 SG to the 13 CVO Road Glide. Well, I did it, and I feel great. Have never ever bought a new bike before and I feel great. Only got to put 40 miles on her tonight but will be riding all day tomorrow. The best thing is that my wife is the one that pushed me over the edge. She rides a 02 FatBoy and loves it...every bit of it. Has no desire to add another piece of chrome, nor does she long for any other bike. She told me I only live once and to get the damn thing after 2 weeks of debate. Guess I'm one of the Fugly's now. (sp)

Tried to upload the picture but computer not cooperating.

Congrats and welcome to the Fugly tank. Try not to tell too many people how much you like it. They'll never believe that something that ugly is that great of a ride.
