Sweet looking ride, I see lots of love, time and money in her...
I feel the same, had a 2012 SG, don't know why I bought it, I know I'm a Ultra guy...
Traded for my 13 White Pearl UC, I really love this one, sparkles in the sunlight...no, she's not where I want it yet...but I'm working on it.
I could get a 14 if I wanted, at a point in life where I can have pretty much what ever, but I like my 13 more than the new 14's...nothing to do with some of the issues, MOCO will fix that...I just like the looks of the 13's and back...guess I'm old school a little....
Maybe when the new RG Ultra comes out....then maybe not...
It's a great problem to have....ride safe all...

So hear I sit contemplating buying the new 2014, after all my 2009 Electra Glide that runs great and fits me like a glove, and rides like a couch has 54000 miles on it. With the 103 upgrade, Yaffee bars, new true dual exhaust, LED Lights, the Black Powder Coat front end I have decided its time.
Took mama for a short ride today and yes my old 2009 with all those miles ran great again. Still I stopped at a Dealer to see what they had and yeah I will buy one maybe next year.
Went home and gave my old 09 a good cleaning and while in the garage, the sun hit her just right and I found a huge problem.
My Old 09 with 54K miles on it, is simply Gorgeous
Kudos to the guys that buy them cuz I think Harley hit a Home Run this year
It really sucks to have this huge problem

Ol Whitey looks fine to me. "Paid for, the new status symbol of Harley owners."

My 89 Glide still makes me happy, new ones don't even temp me. Would like to add an 80's FXRT to the stable, though. Just an old guy that likes old bikes, although my 1200C is pretty new, it's an 04.

Had the same 'problem' as the OP back in 2012. My 1995 Ultra with the 113 and a gazillion $ of chrome, paint and extras is a blast to ride and fits me (as the OP says) "like a glove", has over 225k miles and was more of sleeper for crotch rockets than a cruzer. I would also NEVER get the $ out of her if I were to sell.
To eliminate the problem, I put mamma's car in the driveway, paid cash for a shiny new 2012 SG to take the space up. Now I have 2 toys, 1 for haulin a$$ and one for cruzin.
Of course, it didn't take long to put some serious cash into the new bike but, that is just me.
Anyway, 'problem' solved.
Aint Harley's great?

I like the looks of the new bikes but not what is under their skin, my 99 is built solid, timikin crank bearings, forged bottom end, will probably out last the new bikes out now, am keeping her, not saying I will never buy a new one, but am never getting rid of my 99.

All you guys are perfect examples of what makes Harley great,they make a great bike that their owners truly love.We have become a throw away society,the products we buy are meant to be used up and then thrown away.Harley's are one of the few exceptions,they are built solid to last. You don't see Harleys in the scrap yard.I'ts good to know that when we are dead and gone,some young guy will be bringing our old bikes back to life and love them just as much as we did,they really are a special machine.
