Default No way

I had a metric once, and only once. Never again. Keep telling yourself you like it. Maybe just maybe you will start to convience yourself. I will keep my Harleys and ride into the sunset.

All I can say is you got some ba((s posting something like that on this forum.

Probably a good motorcycle,any of you ever wonder why "they" look so much like Harleys from a distance? When my wife and I are riding the Ultra, she calls them "fake Harleys"!

I am sure someone else has said it before. So once again. There are only 2 types of riders Those that have them and Those that want them.

I just sold my 05 nomad and got an 09 flhrc...buying it used as your are doing, you aint gonna loose much upon resale...its a good bike and good luck with it. For me, I couldn't be happier or more proud of my new Harley.....A bike I've worked hard to get and always wanted.

If Harley wouldn't have upgraded the new 09 touring bikes, I would still be considering a metric bike. I've had three metrics and now a VROD which is a fantastic bike, better than any of the Yamaha's or Kaw's I've owned. Now i am ready for a true touring bike, and the Street Glide is for me. The new chassis and engine mounts really put this bike in a new class.

Not knocking your choice, I am sure it's a great ride and wish you best of luck.
