So I tried out a cross-bones today, and..

I just traded my Street Glide in for my X Bones. THe BEST thing I have done for myself in a long time. The SG just started making me feel disconnected from the road. Don't get me wrong, it was a touring bike (and a great looking one at that), but that fairing just started making me lose the connected feeling I had before I got it.
The X Bones brought it back in a big way. I love every single second I am on or even around the bike.
I rode 300 miles today heading straight north in a 30+mph straight south wind. The Springer front end handled the wind great. Heck, I didn't even have a windshield.
Regarding storage: A sissy bar and saddlebags will take care of everything you need. You don't need anyone hear to tell you what to do, but you won't be sorry if you get the Bones.

Well, I went over and sat with my dealer's salesman this afternoon and had a chat over a hot chocolate. Seems my 'Glide has lost around a third of it's value in the short period of time I've had it, which is a damned sight more than I origionally thought, so I think the opportunity ends here....But....
...the seed's been sown.
Thanks guys.

Reverend,
Have you checked what folks are asking for bikes like yours when they sell it themselves? You know the dealer is gonna hose ya on a trade-in.
Of course, I still think ya ought to heat up yer engine a bit to get some more zip outta the girl. Then maybe you won't want to change bikes...
