41 years old, switched from softail to SG in June and can't believe I waited so long....These are no longer "geezer" glides....nearly all of my bagger buddies are in their 30s and early 40s!! Also, I did think it was very sluggish...it bothered me!!!! But once I did the PCV, stage 1 AC, and V&H ...its no longer sluggish.......I was comparing it "stock" to a modified Deluxe that I rode for 7 years......now, I'm happy

I very rarely ride more than 100 or so miles a day. Most of the time I cruise to a D&D w/ buddies or do a Sunday ride w the local H.O.G chapter. My buddies and I are competitive when it comes to our scoots, we mod the sh*t of of 'em so we can sit in a parking lot and drool over our work.
I can picture myself on a road king w some apes and a windshield set up for some touring in the future when hopefully my work and husbandry don't occupy sooo much of my time... And I have more "disposable" income

Just don't ever get on a Road Glide, all that scrunched up feeling just goes away and the tunes are still there with no turbulence steering on the super slab. OH, did I just give away our shark nose secret? OH Well better now than later. 6'1" 280# and lovin' every ride! BTW, enjoy the ride!

[The next morning I dropped it off and decided to wait 10 years before giving in to the bagger bug.]
Had my first soft tail after 15 years of rigid frames. Thought that was the best thing since FM radio. Then I got a buddys road king. Give you less than a year.

I gotta say, I'm really liking the cruise control. When I bought my Fat Boy the wife was asking why I didn't go with the Road King since I loved the look so much. I liked the FB too and said I wasn't old enough for a touring bike. Yeah, you see what's pictured in my sig. 41 years old and I really don't consider it an old man's bike. Not really into music while riding but boy howdy you can't deny what a great riding bikes the touring class are. My FB was lowered 2" looked great (to my liking anyway) but after a long ride, I felt violated. Different story now, granted I don't plan on lowering this one.
