My choice, my money, my decision. No regrets and love the 2014. To each his own, if you don't like it, don't have the money, don't have the credit, whatever your reasons it's none of your business what someone does with their time, money, etc.
+1 I agree

About opinions positive and negative:

It's really all about what you want to get out of the net.I see no value in a bunch of people telling me what I want to hear.I appreciate opinions,all of them,challenging your thought process is a healthy thing.

The only thing that ever drives me away from any discussion board is reading the same stuff over and over again.

I'm glad someone finally said it. You see more bitching and complaining and passing judgement on here than anything else.

Last year I bought a 12 Dyna Wide Glide after putting a little over 100 miles in a few weeks I knew it wasn't the bike for me, so I traded it for a 13 Fatboy Lo, put a bunch if mods then six months later I decided I wanted a bagger. So I sold the Fatty and bought a 13 street glide. I'm very happy with my decision, some of my friends tease me a little but it's my money and I work hard for it, so who gives a flying eff if a person decides to trade up. Just my 2 cents!

I actually saw his old bike and they had a price of $19,600 on the 2013.

Someone who only rides 113 miles in three months should probably just stick with what they have. I test drove the Street Glide Special and I still did find that much special over the 2013 bikes. The new seat alone made the ride very uncomfortable.
I don't get it either. I just went to the local dealer convinced I would buy a 14 limited. I just couldn't get excited. The only thing that really impressed me was the new latches on the bags and the tourpak. I don't care for the new radio at all. I drove my 09 home.
