Default Finally pulled the trigger!!
So yesterday, I became absolutely fed up with not being able to drive to some good destinations with my wife, partly because my 2003 FXDL didn't get crap for fuel mileage, and also because the wife was just too uncomfortable. So I made her head to the dealership yesterday, and ended up trading for a 2013 FLHTC!! So far, I love it! Unbelievably comfortable, minus the handlebars feel like they are too short for me, and the fact that it gets pretty awesome mileage is GREAT!!! Only thing for me to do right now, is decide what I want to get for it, other than a stage 1, and handlebars.
