Wanted to take a moment to say hello. I new here. Not to forums in general, but to the RoadGlide.org. From time to time I have stopped in to peruse photos and read a little. I am not new to Harleys, but have never owned a new one.
After 10 years of waiting to buy my dream bike, my wife decided to surprise me with a birthday present. She bought me a 2016 Road Glide Special. On my birthday, she presented me with a card, and basically said, "pick the color, I know this is something you have waited for." By weeks end, we had visited the dealer, picked the color and made the deal. I don't think i could be happier. All three of my children were very excited for me, along with my wife, and they couldn't wait for a ride. My youngest is very exciting about cruising with dad. My oldest, is a son, he immediately figured that my 76 hardtail bobber that I built would have to have a new owner. He is proudly standing in line waiting for the keys.
I have had a long love of the Road Glide and had no doubts that this is the bike I would own. When I saw the 2015s first come out, I didn't know if I could wait for another year to buy one. This past year was pretty hard, visiting the dealerships and jonesing to ride out on a new bike. In the end it was worth the wait, plus I got a color I love. I really wanted the Special and really wanted red. Glad that Harley made the decision to go with a red in 2016.
I cannot speak more highly of the sales team, parts team, and service team at my dealership. Hannum's Harley Davidson of Sellersville, PA did a fantastic job throughout the whole process! When you have waited this long to make the purchase, the purchase process is just as important as the bike.
I greatly look forward to putting the miles on this bike in the years to come.
