I keep going back to look at the new lineup. The more I look the more some of the color options grow on me. I have really taken a shine to the Road Glide Ultra in Twisted Cherry.
I am not a big fan of fairings, stereos or navigation options. This is why the Road King is my favorite bike. However, as I have stated before I ride solo 100% of the time.
If there was a way to get my wife involved in riding I would be at the dealership right now cutting a deal on a Twisted Cherry, RG Ultra. I know it would be a comfortable choice for her. She refuses to even go for a ride around the block at this point.
All of you who have a wife who will ride with you, count your blessings. I don't push her or nag her to go she simply isn't interested. Mainly because she is so devoted to our kids who are grown and our grandkids both of which are younger than eight. Maybe she will come around but hasn't moved on the idea in years.

On a side note once you try a loaded HD touring bike with Radio, GPS, Espresso maker, Microwave oven etc, its hard to go back to a Road King

So, OP, you say your wife "is just not interested in riding" and then you post about your vacation and she perks up about the scooters? You didn't take the ball and run with it? You fumbled.
As I stated in my earlier post (#27), have her take an effing class on a scooter. Jesus, between you and "mrbeads" what the hell has this world come to?
Edit~ Reread post #58. This is what typically happens.

I guess the world has turned into a place where a few guys such as yourself must always interject some negative BS.

Beautiful bike though. The pic doesn't do it justice.
