They released the colors to the dealers. On the way home from Sharkweek, we stopped at a dealer. One of the sales people showed us the 2013 colors in a book he had. He didn't know us, but he showed us and then said not to spread it around. Weird!

Last year they did an unveil at the museum in milwaukee prior to Sturgis.
Sounds like this year they won't be unveiled at Sturgis, but at the Museum again on August 30th.

Dealer in mass said today 2-3 weeks. I walked in today and the place was a ghost town. Said other dealerships bought most of there inventory so they can make room for the 13's!

Oh oh I wanna start a rumor.....my brothers wifes brother in-law told me (the really odd thing is he looks just like me and we always seem to run into each other in every bathroom) that the 2013s will be powered by the 140cui ultima black gem and as an appreciation to roadglide.org every member gets a free brand new roadglide! Yay!

I hope they concentrate on correcting some of the flaws and annoyances of the current models and hold off on the introduction of the water cooled heads until 2014. I've read that the changing European standards (starting in 2014) will force some water cooling to be employed and I wouldn't think that there would be enough volume to produce a separate motor for just Europe. Then again, they may use Europe as the guinea pig for sorting it out and then introduce the changes here in 2015.

Like they said - it's all a guessing game right now.

Here is what I know. I ordered one in Afghanistan. Got a email saying all bikes won't be delivered till around sept 15. I was pissed. Original date was aug 17. My sales rep also was pissed. He also showed me an email that was from Harley sent to all dealers. Saying bikes will be there mid aug. but military sales still says mid sept. my rep asked and they said quit asking. I called a Texas dealer and the sales rep said mid aug. so who the hell knows.

My brother-in-law ordered a '13 RGU a little over a month ago. He got a call from the dealer last week and they said it would be in the end of this week or the first of next. I didn't hear the conversation but he is under the impression he will be able to pick it up when it gets prepped and test ridden. Now they may take him in the back and say here's your bike but you will need to wait until xxxxx date to pick it up.

Could be,.. I think its been the past 2 years now that Harley had shipped bikes 2-3 weeks before the dealers meeting. People would say they had seen the crates at their dealers and I never believed them until pictures came up to prove it. My dealer also got 2 or 3 bikes in last year a week before the dealers meeting. He wouldn't take the bikes out,.. but I got to peek at them and sho'nough they were 2012 models.

Also if memory serves, it musta been 2 years ago that a guy in Florida I believe, took pics of a street glide that showed up at his dealer almost a full month before they were supposed to be released.. had pics to prove it and everything. I say 2 years ago because it was on the HDforums, and I haven't been back to that mess in at least 2 years now.
