Sold my '07 FLHX w/103" and boat-load of other upgrades back in November thinking I was done with riding. Should have known it was just boredom with a 3 year old bike, cuz "once a rider, always a rider". 
This time I crossed over to "the dark side" when I walked into my local shop and saw the new 2010 FLTRX Custom in Denim Black. They also had a 2010 FLHX in Black Denim, so I was somewhat torn on the decision, so I slept on it. The next day (yesterday) I went back in and took 'em both for a spin. I'd never ridden a fixed fairing bike before, but absolutely fell in love with it once I did.
She's mine now boys! Introducing "Dark Side", my new toy. Unfortunately thanks to Texas weather (first day of Spring, < 40* temps + rain after being in the mid 70's just *yesterday*...GAH!) I had to just snap a couple of quick pics in my garage.

Funny...the RG is the latest thing around here! I bought a vivid black 10 in the fall and the next month or so two buddies got rid of their EGC and SG for RGs. These are dudes that previously made fun of the RG. Converted!
so...nice bike! You're going to love the Dark Side.

Long-story-short: Had just purchased that thing a few weeks before I sold my '07 FLHX, tossed it in the saddle bags and forgot about it. Emptied the bags when I sold it, then again proceeded to forget about everything I'd just dumped on a shelf in the garage. After I brought the new bike home Friday evening I remembered that pile of stuff (tire repair kit, rain gear, wrench set, etc) and just tossed it down on the ground next to the bike. Put everything back in the bags, but since the pad was still a virgin I just slid it under the stand for shitz-n-grinz. It's back in the bag now.
Side note: SNOW IN TEXAS ON THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING?!?!?!
W?!
T?!
F?!
