Default they got me

I looked at HD's for 15 years, never liked em, they just didn't fit me right.
Then end of 2017 I tried out a 2018 Sport Glide and loved in - couldn't throw my money at them fast enough. Great commuting platform and sweet canyon carver. Even did a complete custom paint job and added the SE IV upgrades to it to make it grunt good and hard.

But a sport glide isn't a true touring platform. It's not the bike to deal with highways and cross winds and all of that kind of long distance stuff that you want a nav system for and maybe even some tunes..

Feeling the need I went down to see the new 2019's and damn if the Road Glide didn't catch my eye... a long test ride later it had completely won me over.

Cha-ching I got a new Road Glide and MBHD got my money - again - twice in one year.

I am adding a Legend Lowering kit before i pick up my ride to help my short little legs get a firm plant and grip on the road but other than that - I am ready to hit the road.

Saweeet August 2018.

Congratulations. I did a demo ride on the Sport Glide this weekend. I was amazed at how well it rode compared to my two softails (Fatboy and Heritage) but your right,, it's not the greatest long two up tour like the Road Glide.

If HD would of made a Road Glide in orange,, a true orange,,, not burnt orange,,, I might of bought a new one.

Are you going to trick out the RG like you did the Sportglide?

With a trunk, and a blue-tooth sound system, the Sport Glide would be a great weekender bike, especially in the twisties!

Congrats. I’ve never met a RG Rider that did not absolutely love it.
