The word "standard" refers to that by which all others are judged. Its a good thing!

I just call it a EGS. It's only three letters-easy to type. That said, mine is anything but 'standard'! BTW, I like the phrase 'standard by which others are judged'-Good One DeJavu!

I agree that adding the trim line is not necessary most of the time. Unless it is necessary to decribe a problem unique to that model, I'm with you.

ORIGINAL: IamZardoz

I am hereby going to refer to each and everyFLHT's as just an "Electra Glide" without the crappy sounding "standard" attached. There is no need for that word to be in the name, upgraded models add the word "Classic" or "Ultra"so there is noneed for the word "standard" as far as I can see. Whos with me on this? (fade in with Animal House music from"the germans attack Pearl Harbor scene")
Ummm...in your list of bikes you own, you specifically stated FLHT.

As in "Standard Oil," "Pullman Standard," etc. Kind of sad that language inflation has just about taken away this original meaning.

FLHT STANDARD is used to judge all other wannabes against. The Bike was and is used in so many Depts and Services everyday. I am seriously looking to pick one up for a pop around town ride. Loved my 03 and think they are the best except when i;m on my 07Ultra.
