Thanks for the kind words all!
As for the name, I was dlorider before, so I guess dstreetgligr would be up next. If a mod could make that happen it would be soooooo cool!
And as for leaving the Road Glide, it was tough. I absolutly loved that bike. On the road it was untouchable, and the suspension on this new '14, even with the "premium hand adjustable" rear shocks, leaves much to be desired. So why trade? Simple, low speed handling. The Roadie never felt planted below 10mph. For me parking lot maneuvers were a nightmare. The StreetGlide gives up some on the road, but it does make up for it in the parking lot.
And no, I would never have believed it if I hadn't experienced it myself.

Congrats!
The dealer here had one, and I got to see it before it went to it's new home.
I like how the special "rushmore edition" comes with a painted inner fairing

I saw one at my local in that paint.
Nice!!
Congrats!!
Wished I was in the market!!
It took too long and too much $$$$ to get my 09 to where it is now to think about trading.
I like the new comp though.
I think that they finally got that one figured out?
