I will be a first time Harley/bagger owner in about a month or so. First bike was an 89 Honda Rebel, second (current) ride is a 2001 Yamaha V Star 1100 Custom. I've been going back and forth between RK's and SG's. I love the look of both but I like the versatility of the RK more. And after seeing the 2012 FLHRC in Blue/Black my mind was made up

This is my first HD touring bike (not first Harley). Had many touring bikes before my UC but not an HD. Had to think real hard about moving away from the Gold Wing but I really loved the classic looks and feel of the EG.

I am totally pleased with it now since I removed the cat and did the PCV stage 1. What a noticeable difference in temperature, sound and overall performance.

My 06 Electra is my first touring bike. Had it for about two months now.

Default '11 rk

Just acquired it after trading off the little FXDWG, (big improvement), and to have something different to ride other than my prized GL1800 Wing.

Left a Goldwing for a 2011 FLHTK 1.5 months ago and have no regrets. Installed back rest, 665 zumo and HDBomm and hwy pegs. Have stage 1 air bought with gift card and putting Fullsac x pipe and TTS on order this week. Only thing not decided on is slip ons but looking hard at Rienharts and Monster Ovals. 2800 miles in less then 2months and I'm having a blast.

Purchased a new 2010 FLHTCU in March, 2011. Momma wanted to ride with me, but felt safer on the 2011 Tri-glide, so I traded for the Tri-glide a few weeks ago. She endures the trike, I miss my FLHTCU. I had a 2.5 year lull of not riding anything. I had sold my BMW R1200CLc, it was a great touring bike. But now I own the HOTTEST tour bike around. I am proud to be a Harley owner once again, but don't like the heat from the Harley.

I just traded my Vtx1800F in a month ago for my street glide. I miss the power of the vtx but my butt doesn't hurt after an hour of ridings now!!!
