Traded 95 Goldwing for 05 EG Ultra sept 09, love at first ride, wife rode along and said we need to buy this bike, so I did. Traded for 06 EG Ultra in mid Dec 09, less miles, Stage I. Stopped a local HD Dealer last monday to have 06 serviced--left with 08 EG Ultra, Black/Chrome-Stage I-True Duals-Rinehart slip-ons. The "96" engine,6 speed tranny and 6 gal tank sold me. Wife thinks I need to stay away from HD Dealer for a while!!!

Bought my first touring bike, a '10 RK Standard in April. Love it! 4k miles so far, but I missed most of July due to biz travel...so I should have more, lol.

I traded my 03 VTX1800 for the 03 Ultra a couple years ago. I had always been a Honda man but the only thing I miss is the torque. I do miss that.

One week into my new '10 RK Classic. 3rd Harley in 2 months......

Started with an '02 883 Sporty that I bought cash, traded in 4 weeks ago on an '09 Sporty 1200 Custom, took it in for the 1K mile service last Sunday and left with the '10 RKC.

Have to hold on to this for a while, but I'm starting to think I should have gone straight to a RG.........

First touring bike, came from a sportster which had decent go but by no means was it setup to go riding.

Never tried a sg but had always wanted one, like the look with the hard bags so went in and signed papers.
Still best decision i've made in a while. Love the ride and look of the bike

Riding for more than 30 years but this is my first Harley. I first looked at the Road King in 1991 when it was called the Electra Glide Sport, owned my RK for a little over 18 months and put on more than 32k miles; first touring bike I've owned.

My first HD was a 97 Softail Heritage Classic. Thought it was a touring bike because it was the first bike I ever had with saddle bags. Bought a new 08 Ultra. Loved the 97 Evo Heritage Classic, but there is no comparison in the comfort and ride between the two.

I have had my '10 SG since Jan. 19th. Didn't start riding it much until May, (Work out of town, ect...) anyway. I just turned 4300 miles this weekend.
It is my first HARLEY Tourer,, the closest thing I had before this for a "Tourer" was a Kawasaki Concours which was more of a "Sport Tourer"
