After 30 years of riding every other type bike out there I finally purchased my first Harley - a 2011 RKC. two months and 2,700 miles in I can't believe I waited this long!

 

Traded my Deluxe in on a Street Glide....its a different animal. I'm used to the counter balanced softail, so the rubber mounting system is going to take some getting used to, but as soon as I start modding, I know its going to be how it is supposed to be!

 

First bike new RK FLHP 103. I purchased it in March and put 12750 miles on it this summer. I had a deer run into me last week so I'm waiting to see if it gets totaled or fixed. If its totaledI have found a nice Street Glide that would look nice in my garage.

 

Have had my Street Glide for 2 months now. Love it! Traded my Deluxe(still loved that bike) Wife is happy so life is good lol.

 

i just bought a 2012 street glide about two months ago. best investment i made i love this bike! my wife finally gave in and let me get one as she was so against the bagger she thinks they are for older folks lol. she totally loves it to and regrets not letting me get one the last time i bought a bike. previous machines were 09 super glide custom and an 08 sporty

 

I have had my Road Glide Ultra about five weeks now. Pervious Harleys were sportsters and softails. I will say the RGU is the best handling big twin I have owned. I think it would have given my sportsters a run for their money. At least until the hard parts started gouging asphalt.

 

Purchased new 12 SG Aug 5, first new Harley & first Touring model That I have ever purchased. I was injuried at the time of purchase & have been through Knee surgery since, but have managed 4500 mile so far.

 

Not just my first tourer but my first Harley period. I've been a sport bike rider for years. Except for a 2 year stent of riding a Yamaha V-Max. In 2006 I gave up the sport bikes & bought a Suzuki M-109r. It was the most logical switch at the time. This past Aug. I drove from Knoxille TN to Dallas TX to buy my 2010 Harley Electra Glide Ultra Classic. Wow, I never new what comfort I was missing. Love my Harley though I do miss the power of the M-109. Comfort is key & the wife loves the ride as well.

 

Picked up a 2012 FLHTK a month ago today .. first HD touring bike, but not first touring bike. Two Royal Star Ventures (99 & 06), and a couple of sport-tourers (Concours and FJR) as well.

I noticed several othes mentioned moving to the HD from a Yamaha Royal Star Venture .. I did as well, but with one difference -- I'm keeping the 06 Venture. Too nice a bike, too much invested, it's paid for as well as all the goodies on it, and we'll use it as our tow bike for our camper (at least through next summer).
