Default Road Glide Died

So I'm out riding with some guys down here in Florida and we're about 75 miles into our trip and my brandy new 2010 R/G just stalls out on me while I'm traveling along at about 45 MPH. (please don't ask if I ran out of gas). I was unable to restart my bike & had to have her towed to Harley Dealer. This happened to a bike with just 900 miles it. Anybody experience this or hear about such a problem?

Trouble with electric fuel pumps and or wiring to them is not unheard of... let us know what it was..

Did it turn over and just not start, or was there nothing? Explain the symptoms a lil more.

Yea, a little more symptoms? Did it sputter and die like it was out of fuel? Or did it just shut down like you turned the key off?
And really unless your just asking our opinions for the heck of it,,, it's getting fixed at the dealer, right? LOL
Hope it's a quick fix, and your back on the road soon (Like tomorrow!) with the gang!

Just quit, nothing but a coasting motorcycle. Restart attempts were futile. Nothing happened not a thing.

You should know something soon. Hope this doesn't damper your spirits too much. I'm sure it'll get worked out... Keep the faith

So if nothing happened, not a thing meaning it didn't even crank, then it's electrical like maybe the ignition switch (that happened to me) or something rubbed and grounded out and blew the main fuse or something.
