But I hope I can stick around!

I still have a Harley, a 2015 now, for those that do know, shhhhhhhhhhh! lol

I'll post a pic or two when I get my wheels changed over and a couple other small mods I'm doing.

I ended up with 42,975 miles on my Shark from November of 2011 until Saturday, and it was the best bike I owned.

Having said that, I didn't get another one, I will give that much of a clue.

I'm not too proud to say the new Road Glides have priced me out of the market!

so, is it a street glide, Eglide, Road King, Heritage, Sportster?

I'll reveal all Saturday or Sunday!

It's been awesome, and I don't plan on leaving the site!

Stick around. Get a sportster! I have one and love it, but I'm sure any bike I would get I would love too.

You have posted 2,187 posts so I would call you a regular on here for sure so YES stick around brother. Man I can tell you first hand it is always hard getting rid of a bike that you LOVE.
I wish I could keep every bike I've owned but it's just not possible. Good luck with the new bike and I would like to see your new sled in some good pictures.

Yup. Might as well show it now, but it will look a bit different with the wheels from my Road Glide on it. I also have a tinted long ride shield coming.

So far all I've done is put my mustang seat on, change the drips, and change the timer cover from the cheap stocker to a chrome one I had sitting around.

Plans are for the HD Elite Ventilator Air Cleaner, and the Same type of Freedom Performance Mufflers that were on my RG.

I already have a Power Vision, so I'll have to buy the license and then get a tune for it.

I have to agree with above. I also think the road king is the best looking bike Harley makes. If I didn't always have a passenger mite think about another one but I must say there is no better than a RG for the open highway. Get those chrome fangs on the forks if you think you need more wind block. Nice looking bike and good luck with your new ride.

I had a 1987 FLHTP - basically an early version police model Road King - that I road for almost 20 years. I generally referred to it as a Bacon Glide. So - I say - as long as you can make up a good name for it...you can call it (X Glide) anything you like.. :)

The white looks awesome on the road king. Congrats.

I looked at the road king and the road glide and quickly realized that I would spend as much if not more money making them tour ready, than buying the ultra.

If I could only own one bike, the road king would be at the top of my list.

I love them stripped down with beach bars, and built up with tour pak, lowers, and batwing.

Congrats on your new bike. If you ever need tunes you can get the Lowers and put speakers in there and some in the bags or tour pack. :)

I just think after 8 years behind a fairing I'm ready for a change. I did an 8-10 mile test ride and liked it.

Time will tell! Lol.

I out 32,000 on my ultra classic, 43,000 on my shark.

Now it's time to simplify. Just a gut feeling after my demo.
