bj66 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share #26 Posted February 4, 2011 Bernie, I think you picked a good ride. My older brother has an 08 Road Glide and he just loves his. Before you know, it will be spring, it comes the same time every year. If you ever get to Sioux Falls give me a shout. Enjoy you new ride. We will have to get together again. We didnt get a Meet and Eat together last summer. The one 2 summers ago was fun. I'd ride down and do it again. Nothing like riding 250 miles one way to have lunch at a truck stop. Then fire it up and ride back home. Next time we will have to meet at the Texas Roadhouse behind the mall or something. I've ridden there before for lunch. I'd definately do that again.......

bj66 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share #27 Posted February 6, 2011 Man I cant believe how much after market stuff there is for a HD bike. You always see all the adds etc. But until you own one and actually start searching for stuff to fit your bike, it just blows you away. I almost have a headache, and I havent even scratched the surface. I am not talking just the HD brand, its unbelievable. With my Yammie it was kind of easy to find stuff, so few different options/companies. Not so with this bike. If you find something you think is cool, keep looking, there will probly be 20 companies making the same stuff. I thought the bike itself was gonna be spendy enough, and I knew HD stood for Hundred Dollar (every add on 100 dollars). But its just like being a kid and looking through a JC Penny x-mas catalog. And I thought I'd keep this bike pretty simple and clean. I hope I can still do that. But the few options I plan on adding, its gonna be tough. Too many choices, makes the simplest mod a difficult one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have unlimited monies I would have several different bikes in the garage...and a couple of them would be H/D's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted February 6, 2011 Share #30 Posted February 6, 2011 I agree with you about the accessories. I've always envied the Harley riders for all the goodies they have to choose from. If we had 10% of what they had it would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverdeer0454 Posted February 6, 2011 Share #32 Posted February 6, 2011 Sorry Bernie, you're stuck with us, kind of like being in the Mafia, you can't leave once you are in. It appears we are going to have to add a Harley section just like we did a Gold Wing section. RandyA Of course the "Harley" section will list local towing companies that specialize in motorcycle towing. Just kidding BJ! Love any machine with 2 wheels (sometimes 3 wheels) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also must not forget, to stock the oil asorbant pads, ready for use. It would not be good, for visitors to slip & fall when viewing the area. Some of us, don't heal too good, these days.
