Default No more Harley's for me!

At least that is what I told my wife after I got this today.

12 Road Glide CVO. HD calls the color maple but I would call it Root Beer and it has fine gold flake in it. Came of the assembly line 4 weeks ago. A dealer and four other folks were after it but I was in line first.

Just put 20 miles from the dealer to home today. Will start to run it up to the 1K as soon as possible.

This is my first CVO and it does complete my collection so it just may be the last one for me.

I am sure there is one you do not have. If you run out of room you can use my garage to store a few..

While we all believe you, and have no reason to think you would ever want another one, what makes you think your wife is REALLY buying that story?!!!! I am willing to bet, that line was used in the past, along with," I don't need to change anything, honey!". "this motor is plenty fast enough for me!", or the famous,"I can keep it for a year and make money on it!"" But we (I) still believe you!!! (I have too, if you fail here, that means I will most likely fall too!! so you got to get away with it!!!)



Very nice bike, congrats, and I'm sure "you don't need to change anything!!!

Nice bike... but gawd damn I wish HD would do something about that ugly *** fairing. There's gotta be someone at HD that can design a fixed fairing that doesn't have the aesthetics of a brick with 2 eyes.

Damn fine looking machine! I saw one just like it in the showroom of my local HD dealership. I almost got wood staring at it.

Very nice looking bike you picked up.

Your last sentence is what I said when I added a shovel after years of owning just pans . Found a real cherry mid-70s FXE and I am trying to convince myself I do not need the bike.
