Congrats on the your new scoot!
If only we could be rich enough to keep them all!
But I'm sure your love for your new StreetGlide will eventually replace Agnes.
Enjoy brother!

What makes you think she wouldn't also have trouble getting on a Touring bike?
I'm not trying to talk you out of trading, but it would seem to me the Touring bike would be just as hard or harder for her to get on.

FYI: You might want to get those leather saddle bag covers or she'll probably scratch the heck out of the lids.

Next come the mods.
You'll be putting $$$$ in your new ride and getting it right for you.
You may not think so at the onset, but that will quickly change.
That's sorta fun but kinda a PIA too

You'll see.

Was in the same boat as you, traded the heritage in on my FLHX and have not missed the Heritage for a second! The wife loves the new ride also and that's always a plus!! Definitely look into some sort of protection for those saddlebag lids because she is gonna nail them eventually...don't ask me how I know this....
