Hi Everyone,

I want to say hello to everyone in the HDForum. This is my first post to HDForums. I was a member for more than a month, but did not have much time to post.

I am a new owner of a 2009 HD Street Glide, my first HD. At the end of June, I traded in my 2007 Suzuki M109R for the SG. I needed a bike with more long ride options such as the cruise control, FM radio, and a smoother ride.

I have no regrets with the SG. I was quite amazed on how easy the SG is to ride compared to the 109. The shifts are always easy and smooth and its way easy to find neutral. The bike handles really great and the intown street to street turns are easy. The cruise control and entertainment package work really great. The bike is a really pleasure to ride! I can go on, but need to get going and do some work at home.

NECaveman.
