Default Gonna Take a Beatin..saw a black 11 SG w/103

After 5 years on a RKC, saw a 2010 Black WG and had to have it in April. I tend to impulse by every once in a while..well..often.
Very nice bike, but miss the touring. Stopped by the dealer and saw a 11 black SG w/103.

It is only a matter of time before i trade in...and take a bath in the process...

As they say.... you only live once...

Don't feel bad. I traded in a perfectly fine 2009 Street Glide for a 2010 Ultra Limited.

Think Many of us have been there .. My 08 EGS ran and looked perfect, one of the few Bikes owned never even saw a dropsie .. But had to have it all when broke in to a Touring Model and traded it for 09 Ultra...

I agree that settling in to what you already have and learning to have a sustained love affair with it can be a daunting proposition. However, although the new bikes are beautiful (particularly the CVO Street Glide), I think I'm feeling pretty dang happy with my '09 Street Glide. It's taken me a long time to get it just like I want it (not quite there yet but close) and I know that if I brought home a new one it would be soooo expensive. I think I'll learn to accept the fine ride I've got and see what tomorrow brings...

I also had an expensive lesson,went from a Valkyrie Tourer to a 2010 Wide Glide then realized at 55 while I loved the look of the Wide Glide I really needed to be back on a touring bike.After 11 months and 7,000 miles I traded for a new 2010 Ultra Classic Electra Glide.I am very happy with this bike and it ill be with me for a lot of years God willing.

i was trading the RKC anyway...wanted the larger motor, 6 speed, new frame design..but should've just went to another touring..instead of thinking i would enjoy the ride of the WG on the highway for long periods.
love the ability to zip around and what not..

It's only money. And I understand that it is good to take a bath every now and then.
