My story is the same as yours. I bought a 2005 vtx 1300s in the spring of 2005.
The following fallI went on a 3000 mile trip through the north west US. 400 miles from the house I got run over while sitting at a
stop sign. Man I was sick over the loss of my bike. But better the bike than me. In the fall of 2006 I bought a 2005 black cherry
Electraglide standard. Like you I have been smiling ever since!
Congrats on the new ride, and welcome to this little corner of the 'net! Sorry about the circumstances that led to your new bike, but I'm sure you'll love it.
