Default Upgraded bike!

Long time lurker, almost first time poster.

Mrs. CMA recently got talked into riding with me on occasion, and we quickly discovered that an 1100cc Honda Shadow Sabre - while a fine bike - isn't really made for two. So we started looking at touring bikes including the Goldwing, the BMW 1600GTL, and the H-D line. I've got friends who own Goldwings and like them, and a neighbor who LOVES his new 1600GTL, but we quickly settled on a Harley Ultra Classic. Found a low mileage used bike for sale that we liked, it's on the truck now on it's way to it's new home in Texas.

Can't wait! Why do deliveries take so long????

Anyway - looking forward to seeing the bike early next week and sharing some riding adventures with you!

Welcome to the HD Forums from another Texan.

Enjoy the bike! Waiting for good stuff to be delivered, always takes forever.

I had a 2005 Goldwing and it is an amazing vehicle, but it is not Harley.

I feel so much better on my Heritage!

Welcome to the asylum . Good choice and just in time for nice riding weather in Texas. I could never get comfortable on my GL1800 and I was always trying to shift into the non-existant 6th gear.
