Until your aluminum motor melted.

I've been riding the same old Roadglide for around ten years now. It's got a teeny weeny windshield and I love it. Of course, when I started riding Harleys a windshield was a sure sign that you were gay (LOL). Just kidding guys.

A bone stock RG? No such animal. The 09 was the last year for the Road Glide and the 2010 is a special custom edition. The RG is by my most favorite Harley.

I do not have one yet, but it will be in my collection soon.

Oh by the way there are different height windshields for the RG. Great handling in cross winds.
