Default Finally!
Hey everybody! The weather kinda sux here in DC\MD\VA, but still riding my first brand new bike, and its a Street Glide! To say I like this bike is a major understatement! Clutch is easy, transmission smoother than some other Hogs that I have ridden, and after a seat swap, my butt, as well as my girlfriend's, is happy! Looking forward to warmer weather, and to Myrtle Beach. Just saying Hey, and hope all of you had a nice Holiday!

Alex,

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the SG. I like the seat on the SG I was going to change it after my first long ride. It's really a good seat just need to break it in also.

Thanks for the welcome... Here is a pic of the bike ready for pickup Dec 23rd... It was a good day, almost 50 degrees! Rode 120 miles, had lunch, realized I needed to buy some chaps!

Hey Gostaz,

Welcome to the forum. Nice ride. Hopefully there'll be a Street Glide in my garage in the near future.

Stock seat like all the rest of H-D's stock seats? All show but no real comfort? Decided on which new seat yet?

Safe riding,

Primo
