So OK I went and did it.  Going for the charcoal slate and twlight black 'ruse.  Ship date of 09/24/10.  Should be available when we get back from the H.O.G. Route 66 ride.  

But A.J., I'm definitely keeping my '07 B&O 'cuse.  It has been too good and is just too nice not to keep.  Guess I'll just have to ride twice as much!
I've set a tall order because my '07 cuse has just turned over 74k and it is only 3 yrs, 9 mos old and I didn't ride for 6 months last year due to my broken leg.  Chit I'm gonna be on the road all the time.  I say that like it's a bad thing?  Nah, I'll love it.  :2vrolijk_21:

Hi Simon.  Yes, partially retired as of last November but until then was full-time - except of course for those long road trips I managed to get in a couple times each year.

DesertHOG, I was in a similar boat. I had a 2002 FLTRI and did it up as a touring w tour pack etc. Loved it. In 08 i sold it and got a FLHX and as i couldnt wait anymore.  I always told myself that if the moco  did one In CVO i would be a buyer.  The custom RG was not touring enough for me...  Then out of the blue the RG CVO Ultra comes out.  I called my favorite dealer the next day and ordered a black one. It took a while but my dream came true.

Congratulations!  We did the same thing, made the mistake of riding one and was hooked!  Although I love our '07 we are trading it.  Wife says can't have three Harleys, the Corvette, Avalanche and Jeep.  Great color choice too!

Here's how I answered that question for myself.

1. Harley has finally done what I tried to do with my 2007 FLTR - plus a ton more goodies that I could have swallowed adding on my own.
2. I am a big man (6'4" @398lbs) and the FLTR fits me, much more so than the Ultra Classics or any other motorcycle for that matter.
3. I put 35k miles on my 2007 in 3 years - I ride!
4. For some dumbass reason I let my warranty expire without an extension
5. My title on my 2007 FLTR is clear
6. I really, really, really wanted one!!!

So on July 31, 2010 I purchased my FLTRUSE.

So Jerry....Tell us how you justified your decision to buy yet another bike?  :nixweiss: You're a sick puppy.


I traded my 09 SEUC for a 11 SERGU today myself.

Justify?  I don't need no stinkin' justification.  I just asked the 'Queen' if it was OK with her and she said something which I took as YES.  What color is your new SERG?

One little accident and a couple of scraped knees and you go out and buy a new bike. If you're in the generous mood, I think Val is looking for a new ride.  :huepfenlol2:

Actually I traded the Ultra and I am fixing up the RG. We'll be a two RG family now.
