or like something different like a cvo fugley that went over so well they only kept it for 1 year betcha ya thought that would be a real winner.

 

Silly me, I should have blacked out a Street Glide instead...I'm crushed.

 

Sorry...must have missed something! Which bike are you talking about here?

 

Yea! Now we at least know what to expect. Now I want to see them!! I look forward to this every year. Ahhh...the simple pleasures in life.

 

I wouldn't black out a street glide

 

Wish I had a blacked out street glide so i could be just like you! I will guess that your on your second harley, the first a softail. Constantly slamming other peoples rides ain't cool in my book.

 

whose bike did I slam? FYI i got my 1st hd in 76,, a 75 shovel kept it for 20 years and since then I probably have had more different ones then ya have teeth. what were ya doing in 76? shitting in your diapers? I see the full moon is getting to people, myself included... Later

 

I am exceited to see the changes be it good or bad. Change is what makes the wait worth while and fun. Will I upgrade? Nope, but I still can't wait to see the 2010's in person. As someone said, its like a mid year Christmas...

 

The 2010 Road Glide will be the same as this year, but with a 2000CC revolution motor. That was one of the many reasons for the frame change.


Going forward if HD wants to survive there will need to be two platforms of bikes to sell; Revolution and TC. That will increase thier demographic. For the HD we all grew up with it's the only way the company will survive the next 20 years. Thier stock was at $7.00 a share in Feb/Mar. They need to do something. As we all know, HD is slow to make changes. That's because you still have some grey beards making decisions. That would also explain the recent flops they've had with the Rocker, the Cross Bones and the Softail Custome with a seat no one wants. I personally like the Cross bones but have asked enough dealers to hear that it's not a big seller. HD is always a little behind the curve. It's time for Willie G to go.

 

I know this is the Touring section, but please indulge me on my first two sentences. Assuming the CARB info is correct, and it usually is pretty much right on:
Welcome back to the Wide Glide, I guess it's the 30th anniversary of that bike.
Wonder why the Softail Custom is the only Softail to come with the 103" engine stock? If this is accurate, better keep all sharp objects away from anyone who buys an '09 between now and the dealer meetings.
I am really curious as to what the Electra Glide Standard's successor, the FLHTK, will be; I always thought the EGS was a great deal, but obviously not enough buyers thought so.
The new Road Glides, the FLTRX (w/ Street Glide treatment, presumably) and the FLTRU (w/ Ultra treatment, presumably) could cause some hardcore batwing fans to defect to the shark nose. Maybe soon RG owners/fans won't be so outnumbered out here as they have been!
SOMEONE out there has to know what the mysterious FLXXX is; it could be a Touring model, but then again it could be a Softail model. Come on, spill, we won't tell anyone!
