Talking rode a 2011 rod glide today

stop by the local dealer to test ride a road glide and all i can say is deffinately would have to get used to the faring when sitting in the seat and riding... overall i think it is a fantastic ride! the 103 was nice but kinda sluggish in my opinion... maybe its just me but i believe harley has drastically improved the bikes with the way they handle now... occasionally in turns i get a slight bucking feel when i hit some humps in the road, but this scooter nothin, smooth as glass... felt safer doin 80 on the roady then i do on my EGC... wind buffetting on the roady?? nah couldnt really tell any, where as you can on the batwings... i hated the looks of em but they really here lately started to grow on me, so i decided to stop and put it to rest thinkin that once i ride it i wont like it....i was wrong

now to see if i can get my accountant (wife) to say lets pull the trigger...
prolly take a whoopin from a fryin pan for a while but it can be done..

just thought i would share my experience with you guys on what i thought

One quick 10-15 minute test drive of a 2010 Road Glide Custom 96 last January was all it tool for me to pull the trigger on a vivid black 2011 RGC 103 a month later. Now that I've put a full stage 1 on her, I can't stop smiling ever time I ride her. The RGC is the sexiest bagger out there IMHO. If I win the lottery any time soon, I'll buy another RGC in Sedona Orage and upgrade her with a 120R engine, 12" apes, big bags, and bitchin audio system. Hey I can dream can't I.....
