Talking New Scooter

Well after many faithfull years (5) with my road king the time came to say goodbye. I traded her in for a 2013 Road Glide Ultra in Midnight Pearl. Man is this thing nice!! I swore when I bought my Road King I would never own a ugly shark nose and now I could'nt be happier. Ride safe guys!

I did the same exact thing. Always hated the Road Glide. Had a Road King for a year, and bought a Midnight Pearl FLTRU and I love this thing. Freakin *eats* miles.

Pretty soon you'll start to hate the flat black inner fairing, when you get a painted one that color really pops.
