No.  Don's son, Derek, was CFO and I guess has now taken the reins.  There was rumor that Kyle Petty was going to buy Tilley's, but I think that ship has sailed.  I think they'll continue to do good.  Later--HUBBARD

Good to know someone that knows the shop so well think they'll continue on as well as they did Carl.  Fewer and fewer of the long term one family shops out there anymore.

It seems more and more now days the Automotive Industry is getting more and more involved in the Motorcycle Industry. They are going to drive the Motor Company into the dirt looking for the kind of profits that they are trying to get. I have tried to buy from 3 Dealerships that are owned buy people that own car Dealerships. It's a no go for me. The screwing they are trying to give just doesn't sit very well with me.

Well I thought about changing over to a Shark. Many sleepless nights thinking of the good and the bad between the two. After owning a Batwing since 1977 it was a very hard decision. I went out looking for both a CVO Limited and CVO Roadglide. I found plenty of both. But what I did find that really made me think was a leftover 2014 FLHTKSE in Typhoon Maroon and Blaze Red. The deal was KILLER and I just couldn't pass it up. I actually think I could ride this throughout the summer and sell it for a profit. 30K plus everything else they charge you. I didn't even balk. They thought I was going to trade in Sapphire. Fooled them. I kept the 2012 FLHTCUSE till I decide if I want to sell it. I really don't want another stable of Screamin Eagles or of Bikes in General. I have 4 SE's now so it may be time to trim it down a little. NO DOOD I am not selling Ole Punkin!!!!!! Punkin and Blaze will be the two that I keep for sure. I guess I'll just for the Boss to ask me what I am going to do with 4 Harley's!!!!

So it's official, I am the proud owner of a 2014 FLHTKSE!!!!!

I am a shark proponent. I have a 2015 CVORGU, my second RG. I am only adding to this thread to point out one interesting difference that may be of interest to some. I rode a cvo street glide at Americade and noticed one thing that is significantly better on the batwing. The angle of the display is much more vertical on the batwing making it a lot easier to see in sunlight. The shark display's angle causes a lot more sun on it washing it out and impossible to see most of the time if the sun is up and in back of you.

I had a 14 bat, then changed to the 15 Shark. IMO the bat is better looking from the front, but the Shark sooo much better to ride.
I had a lot of wind buffeting with Bat, hardly anything with the Shark. I Am definitely a Shark convert!
Bear in mind there is a design fault with the Shark screen, you can see the screen on the Bat where you cannot on the Shark 60% of the time, yes you can get the NuShield NU068RA but it's not a fix! (there is a thread on this)

I owned an Electra Glide once and loved her dearly.  But now I own a Road Glide and see the beauty in her now in a new way.  The 2015 RG is a real departure from the older RG models and is a much better bike in my opinion (I owned a 2011 CVO RGU), but I know some would take offense to my call there, but that's ok.  We all love our bikes and have good reasons why, and that's all that matters.
And I think you'll love the RG, too.  No matter what color you pick.  She's a good ride and she'll be faithful just like your EG was.
Good luck and enjoy your new ride!

Well when I was considering to buy the CVO Shark I got into a discussion with a few of my local friends. 5 out of 7 of them are now riding Sharks. I am happy with my CVO Limited though. The new Rushmore Project Fairing is a great improvement over the older models. I think the two things that help me make the decision was the radio location and the handle bar location on the Shark. The downfall on getting the batwing is the way the shark cuts trough the wind and the mileage increase. Now I am sure I would have been happy with a shark. Who knows maybe in a coupe of years I'll own one!

I have two road glides, one is 2010 RGC and the second one a CVO RGC 2013, I love the two but my favorite one is the 2010! for the buffering I have a Madstad screen and is great, I made it to fit both of them so I switch from one to the other depending on where I am going...ones the buffering is out of the way the handling of the RG is easier over all and in the wind is a plus, I find the 2010 RGC it's easer to handle in the city... and I really like the looks of the RG...it's all about what you like!

[JoeCVO2009]

I forgot to mention that at night having two lights daymakers it, really brights the road!
