[FLSTFI Dave]

Don't forget to post the pics when you get the bike Dave.  If you let us East Tennessee boys know when you go pick it up, we can meet you at SMHD and get a lookie see of the new scoot plus maybe a picture or two for the website...

I am not a big RG fan but my buddy bought the second to last skunk that came through SMHD and I have to tell you, I really like that bike.  It turns heads and haven't seen many on our rides (seen quite a few of the Ruby Red SESG....they are the fastest, you know.. )  Anyway, the other Amigo in our group has the 1982 Tour Glide (with fairing removed) and he went ape over the Roman Gold/Burnt Emerald SESG.  If I can talk him out of another guitar, maybe he will come over to the dark side....

To each there own, I'm not a street glide fan, Love the Road Glide.  I use to swear I would never ride one let alone own one.  A 200 mile ride on one, changed my mind for ever.  I have rented a street glide once, and rode my wife's street glide a couple times, just not for me.

Glad to be getting the King.  I use to swear when I moved to a touring bike it would be a King, but my first and second touring bikes were road glides.

I will let everyone know when it is due to come in, and when I plan to pick it up.

I came real close to buying a Skunk, I do like that look.

But when I saw the 13 Orange and the extra features it has, It was the bike I had to have.

i am not dis-respecting anyones bike, but as my Lady said when she first saw it "That's the purrrrrdist bike on the Planet"

 I agree skunk. I love my new
Fudge sickle 

[bigmegina]

Got that right. 2012's were an instant hit. I don't think the '13s come even close to being as nice.

i agree.glad i got my woody.

[SkunkyGlideShark]

No question. New colors look off to me. Good but off somehow. Too artsy maybe?

[Frankcsal]

I'll stick with my Skunk !!!!!

Saw the 13's when they hit the floor ~ I'll be skunkin it till the next pearl white one hits the road ~ SemperFi

X2 Big Johnson ......Love my maple every time I take it out and the sun hits it...I fall in love with it all over again. I do like the orange 13 but there's just something classy about the maple!!

[Skuff]

Me too my 2012 Maple CVO is way nicer colors than the 2013.

I also agree

[SupDude]

I feel the opposite as most of you.  I love the look of the skunk in photographs but I was not as impressed in person (no offense to anyone).  My best friend has the 2012 Blue CVO Road Glide.  He ordered the Daymaker headlights and the saddle bag speakers for his bike.  Looks like he's trying to make it into the 2013.  I have a 13 Anniversary.  I like my bike because it's not too flashy and definitely the most "low-key" looking CVO.   Maybe it's just my personality but I don't like the attention I get when I'm on a flashy bike.   All that being said, color is subjective and we all have our preferences.  I feel lucky to have the Daymaker headlights and upgraded speaker system.  Other than that, there's really no difference between the 2012 & 2013 and I'd take either of them.

Just for the record, I've had a few flashy bikes in the past:

Well said SupDude,

It shows that all the colors and lines hit only a certain segment of the crowd. My wife and I are into the black and white color combo and now I have a Skunk and she has a Moo-Glide! Pretty much a monochrome world for us but I am glad that they are not for everyone otherwise I would see one on every corner.

I like the new DayMaker lights and will probably upgrade but on the other side I am bit skeptical of the saddle bag lid speakers because of the weight and bad hinges that I have had in the past. 

I am sure that if we each could choose our favorite parts of the last few years we would have a variety of bikes to look at.

However, IMHO, Skunks are da bomb!

I'm not so concerned about the hinges but I worry about somebody stealing them.  They're expensive, unique and I think it makes my bike somewhat of a target.  I have a set of Motherwell's saddle bag lid covers.  I haven't put them on the bike yet but I plan on covering them when I'm in a high risk area.

[Puzzled]

Brukus locks will help keep your bags on the bike. I found they hold the bag far more secure (tight) in comparison to the OEM twist pins. It stinks loosing the little bit of space the speakers and amp takes up however I'm coming from aftermarket deep bags so the OEM bags are simply smaller regardless.

I have the Brukus locks.  It's the lids and speakers that I'm concerned about.  The Brukus locks don't help with the lids... but thank you for the recommendation.

[Puzzled]

Guess I'm missing something as the lids lock to the bags. Pretty tough to steal a lid if it's locked, pretty tough to steal the entire bag when it's locked (something other than the OEM pins) to the bike.
