I am going to back up my boy Hoist here.

The only real solution is to buy one of each.

What a diplomat .  Of course, why didn't I think of this.  Now I remember - the bride keeps reminding me I can only ride one at a time-bummer

I am going to back up my boy Hoist here.

Both of these bikes are in the "touring family" but they are totally different.  To answer Colbalt's question, I think he needs to ask himself, "what kind of riding am I going to be doing?"  I went from an Ultra to the SERK.  The ultra was great for long trips, but I was only taking one or two long trips a year.  The majority of my riding is weekend pleasure rides, and comuting.  I, like Hoist, found the top heavy weight (especially loaded) to be a real detriment, especially when you had to ride through congested areas.  I loved the radio, but I never used the CB, or the intercom.

Anyway, so if Cobaltman is planning on doing several long trips each year, he will probably be happier with the SEUC.  If you are looking for lighter more agile bike, stick with the SERK.   [smiley=soapbox.gif]

The only real solution is to buy one of each.  

I have some sincere doubts that you will be disappointed with either one.  Go with your gut, your first instict is almost always right.

Exactly Travis.  That's why I've decided the SEEG Tri-vertible is the perfect bike.  Full King Pak on for long trips.  Semi-useless but better looking chopped pak for short weekenders.  Stripped down to backrests and much sleeker lines for a day or two or screwing around locally.  The adverstising slogan would be: "The Tri-Vertible, When you want to have it all but can say Phuck the CB."

Hoist

Don took a very politically correct position on this subject but facts don't lie.

Hoist don't forget what Don rides and remember what he use to ride.

 [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Sorry Don,
You opened that one up and I was standing in the door and I was feeling the love!


Bet your sitting there thinking, how did I get dragged into this?


must be your lucky day!

LOL!  Yeah, I'd like to see Don go back to a RK after enjoying his 1,000 watt stereo, lowers that keep his feet dry, and tour-pak to put truckloads of chit in! [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif] [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif] [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

Always remember, it's easier to get forgiveness that it is to get permission!

Exactly

Like that's going to happen!

 [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

I was having a nightmare that Don was riding a R/K to Hot Springs!
Wake up Chip, are you ok,
Yeah Yeah, what happened?
Chit , you fell off that turnip truck and hit your head and was having a nightmare!!!!
 
Thanks guys for rescuing me, damn what a nightmare!

Not at all   .  [smiley=drink.gif]

Hell, Howie and I have even talked about the whole SEEG versus Road King conundrum.  

I readily admit I like this red bike better than any I've had.  Even better than my last Road King.  And I LOVED that bike.  I liked this bike to begin with.  And I absolutely adore it now that it's fully tweaked in to just what I want it to be and adjusted to the ways I want to use it.

One of the big things that makes all that so though is the whole "tri-vertible" thing I was joking about previously here.  The way I've got this beast rigged I can cover just about all those bases.  It's like uber-Road-King with the paks and lowers off if I'm so inclined.  And it goes through several steps all the way to lite-Ultra (no big lights on the back and no CB) when everything and the King Tour Pak are hung back on it.

It would actually be a very very hard choice for me to have to take a full on Ultra, permanently fixed that way, over a Road King.  The great thing is that with the red bike I don't have to.  So it might seem like a diplomatic middle ground, but I actually ride that choice in this case  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] .

Silver-Back,
Yeah, I've played that card a few too many times in almost 35 years of marriage.  Everytime I start thinking about sneaking a second ride into the garage, I get that "John Bobbit" feeling in my nether region :-/....

Yeah, but the kick ass option is I'm rigged so I don't have to pick between them  [smiley=drink.gif] [smiley=mango.gif] [smiley=drink.gif]  .

OK TC

Let me work with you here!
I'm thinking your wife needs a bike of her own. Maybe a S/E  R/K
But you will have to maintain it which calls for many test rides!
Am I headed in the right direction?

 [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

[Hoist!]

Hey Chip. I think you and I are about the same age. My other 2 bikes still have Sifton Cams and S&S carbs. I ain't no kid but I kinda know what I like. Damn, you're running a 140HP softail! You won't catch me on no softail. That's me. Are you too old and mature for a 140Hp softail? HELL NO!!! That's your passion. I got my passion too! I take my Touring bike coast to coast. I'm quite comfortable. And like I said, I didn't like my Electra Glide. That said, there's absolutely no way for everyone to agree on this subject. Otherwise, they'd only need one model. Hoist! 8-)

 [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Now THAT is the suggestion I almost made to Cobaltman.  The Ultra for him and the Road King for his significant other (that would need regular test riding by him to make sure it is safe for her).  But he seemed really interested in an actual response.  So it seemed prudent not to take the thread too far off cour.........    Oh, wait, I foget where we were here  [smiley=duhk.gif] !

Yeah, and they frakking can't have mine.  It's already spoken for, dammit !
