New Road Glide Custom Owner
So I just signed all the papers for my new 2012 Road Glide Custom in Vivid Black. It has the Cruise and Security packages. I'm new to the touring bike world, although I've been on a bike for a while. I currently have a 2008 Night Rod Special, and although I am keeping it, I wanted something more comfortable, practical, and of course Harley. Got divorced a little over a year ago and my ex rode her own, but now that I'm on the prowl and have a waiting list of broads to straddle my steed, I figured I'd keep them in mind when choosing my next hog. I'm not quite ready for an Ultra, so decided the Road Glide was for me. Back in 08 I rented a Street Glide for a weekend, and I know they made some significant changes to the chassis, but I decided at the time on the Night Rod. I've read a lot of threads on the differences in fairings, but I've always been one to be different. Don't get me wrong, I really like the Street Glide fairing and bike overall, but I just like the rider view of the Road Glide a little better. To me it's more of a cockpit, while the Street Glide is a little more dashboard like. One good thing is that I'll be the only Vivid Black FLTRX in my riding groups, and not the 5th FLHX.

Ask and you shall receive. Updated my garage with photos of both bikes. Unfortunately there's snow on the ground here, so the girls have not met yet. That's probably a good thing now though since I damaged my throttle hand. Hopefully it'll be better in a week or two.
