Default Jumped into the "shark" tank.

Caught fugly fever last year. Got tired of the suffering so I did the deed. Brought home a 2013 RGU. Big props to Shenandoah Harley in Staunton. They beat my local dealer by a bunch and treated me like family. Let the mods begin!

I am thinking about a number of bikes for next one and the RGU is one. I just sold an Ultra and I do like the bat wings. I am in Tucson but the Ultra as well as a GW I own have been to Winchester where we are from many times.
Enjoy the new ride and keep us posted on the mods.

Did you trade your SG for the bike in the post? If you did, I'll push you into a real "shark tank"! It's one of the best looking stock bikes HD has.

Just a lowly Miller 180. As for the SG, yep it's gone. Think they had it sold before the seat got cold.

Congrats! I have a 2012 RGU in the same color, and after numerous mods, I think I just about have it where I want it to be.

I did the same thing. I traded my SG for my RG and I haven't looked back.
