Default Moving over from the Softail thread

So I've sold my 05 Heritage and bought a 13 Road Glide (not here yet). Looks like I'll be moving over here with you fine folks. Looking forward to being able to put more miles on the bike with less stress on my back. Loved the Heritage but RGs are so much more comfortable.

I'm a career Air Force member with over 22 years on active duty. I'm stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA.
