I’ve decided to trade her in
« on: March 10, 2011, 05:27:26 AM »
After almost 6,000 miles, I've decided to trade in my 2010 CVO Softail Convertible for a 2011 CVO Street Glide.  It was something that I've been debating for a while. I really enjoyed the Softail on short rides what a pleasure to ride, but she's just not built for long hauls.  I had a chance to ride the SESG for about 150 miles the other day, and what a difference.  The SESG is built for touring.

The dealer made me a fair offer for trading in my convertible & when I saw the Black Diamond SESG, I said, that's the ticket.  I wish I could have kept the convertible, but just couldn't justify the money of having 2 CVO’s in the garage (boy, only if I had money to spare).

I wanted to say thank you to everyone for all of the great information regarding the convertibles, I really learned a lot.  I'll still be on the forum and will be reading all of the convertible topics.

Ride safe.

Congrats.  Both are really nice bikes but its certainly an upgrade if you're going to be taking more and longer trips.

Once you own a bagger, you'll never go back   :2vrolijk_21:  But, it sure would be nice to have one for fun and one for touring!  I was lucky enough to have that at one point in time, with an SEUC and an SEVROD, but then the real world slapped me in the face... :(

You made a good choice!!  :2vrolijk_21:

I've often said that if you like to ride, eventually you get a bagger.  Nice upgrade.  I hope the convertible gets a great new home / owner!

once you have had a bagger you never go back??

I traded my CVO electraglide for a convertible as I prefer the option of bags and screen on the way to my destination and then have the option of stripping them off and cruising around once I have got there.

"but she's just not built for long hauls"

I sure wish someone had told my wife, before she rode hers to the Gulf Coast last summer.... :nixweiss: ::)

Congrats on the SG!

Great bike you got. I also have the 2011 CVO Street Glide in the same color. I ride long distance a lot and it is a great travel bike. Its also nice to have music to listen to on long rides. I am lucky enough to also have a 2009 Fat Boy with a 103 for around town.
