Roger,
No doubt about it, the Road Glide is the best road bike out there. More colors available this year than I've ever seen in one model. So far I seen the 07's in at least 6 colors and maybe more, not sure. My arthritis is acting up today and I had to take some pain meds. I'm home stoned 
I should call d00d up and we can drool all over the phones together 
Anyway, if you're thinking of buying one, they list for under $20k. Mine was $20,500 out the door. Yeah I've spent another $12k on it, but even if it had been a SERG, I would have spent probably 2/3rds of that amount to get it to where I wanted it. Look at Elvis for cripes sake, $50k and still almost but not quite. ( I'm thinking of gold plating the spokes and headlight, spotlight, directional and speedo visors. and then doing a 113 motor upgrade ) LOL But seriously, I think a stock RG is a heck of way to start on the road bike of your dreams. B B
I know you're right, I rode to CC with Leo part of the way and his looked great, funny thing. We were just outside Colorado Springs and he has me fire up the bluetooth to get in touch with "guess who?" OK, John from Clearview. Leo had been waiting for his shield and thought it was done (I think they promised it would be) but, you guessed it, NOPE.
Anyway, he really has that sweet [smiley=cherry.gif] that he painted in the CVO colors after he went down in the rain near Klamath Falls on one of his balls out long distance rides. Jim's 120 with many mods etc.
You definitely got me thinking. I know I'm going to dump my DWG3 for another balloon tired ride and not a softail I don't think. I really have an urge to get a Springer Classic (I'll post the reason why below) but I have had a couple of Springers and as hard as I ride I don't like to get that "pogo" thing going in a corner. Scares the chit out of you when on the top of each hop you move 3 feet closer to the shoulder.
Anyway, I most likely will need to get a ride on a glide when the weather clears up, guess I need to do some serious thinking. The bike will be at my new eastern Washington house and ridden mostly in 75 to 80 plus degree weather and that gets me thinking SERK since it will most assuredly be day rides two up the bulk of the time. It would be nice to have the wind in the face and no lowers etc.
Enough of bikes for a sec, got to see the doc I'm afraid, my friggin elbow is killin' me lately in combo with the tendons in my forearm, hurts to grip/shake hands. Carpel Tunnel? Not sure, I think it may go back to a "pop" I felt karting last year. Thought it had gotten better permanently but I guess not. If it keeps up I'll definitely need to check it out with a doc. Right now IBU does the trick every other day or so, one or two or four. Hurts so much sometime it makes my stomach feel weird.
Probably a good idea to give d00d a call and comiserate, I can hear you two now.
Hope you feel better soon. It's a bitch to get old (er).
