" Tired of my bike ? "..........I don't see or ride her enough to get tired of her.
Up here in Maine, we're lucky to have 7 months of decent riding weather....

So to answer your question.....no, I'm not tired of my bike, I miss riding my bike and seeing the sun rise over my windshield or in my mirrors.

Sounds like you have the wrong bike. And you went to sturgis and scratched your heads? You may not need a bike at all.
Yep. You may be tired of bikes. Pittiful to say.

I bought an Ultra to buy all they had , then get the detachable kit for the tour pack and make it like a Street Glide. Best of both worlds.

I LOVE my bike. I doubt I'll ever tire of it.

Got bored about this time last year and decided I would sell my bike and get a used Vette. In Arpil I finally got up enough nerve and priced it to a guy at work. It sold in the first part of May. So the wife and me go out looking at cars, I think we went to two car dealerships before we ended up in a HD dealership that had a killer looking SG. I forgot about the Vette and spent the next four weekends looking for a sweet deal on a SG. I never found the sweet deal but did end up with a 09 SG and the only regret I have is I didn't buy it four weeks earlier. My point is I thought I was done but when I could no longer ride it changed my mind quickly.

From one texas boy to another, I lost intrest in my bike while I was breaking it in. So i striped off everying that was boring to me and and added the things that gave me a woodie. Now I have my perfect bike at last.

Some of the responses you have are not helpful at all. If someone is going to dis a touring bike, why in the world on they on this part of the forum? Now, my opinion on your situation is multifaceted... first, I felt the need for some wind in the face raw bike so I bought an 883 and had a blast fixing it up with some minor mods, but it was only fun to ride for a little while and then when I had to choose between bugs in my teeth and air pressure on my chest, I defaulted to my FLHRC.... so, to make a long story long, I sold the Sportie, lost a little and now I'm more than satisfied with my scoot, but I've done major mods on it and I love it more today than a year ago. There are a lot of bikes out the but I'm not sure any are going to give you the ride you have on your Ultra. A buddy of mine has a RoadKing, and when he wants to get the full brunt of the wind, he takes off the windshield and away he goes... He loves it. I took my windshiled off twice and hated it. As for Sturgis.... makes sense to me.
