We rode about 300 miles this weekend and all I can say is yeeeehaaaaaaw!!
I have to admit that I was a little afraid.  

  I, like a lot of folks on this site, started riding dirt bikes in my early teens.  The biggest bike I had ever ridden was a Fat Boy.  I had never ridden such a "big" bike.  Oh, I had ridden Chip's EGs in the past but only on interstate highway ... no intercity driving ... no stop-starts ... no curves!
Our ride initially started as just a short ride so I could "get the feel" of the bike.   I was leading and we were about 5 miles from home when I took a left into a parking lot of a local grocery store.  I think Chip thought I was ready to go home 

  but, I wanted to do some tight turning.  It was early enough that there were only a few cars in the lot so I did some U-turns ... left then right ... staying in the lane ... and my biggest fear was diminished ... I could tight turn the damn thing!!  Yeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaw I was ready to go!!!   

In between hearing my favorite songs  

 on the local country stations of my radio I remembered back to when Chip helped me pick out my Sportster (just in case you don't know, that's how I met Chip) and then my thoughts quickly went to my Low Rider still sitting in the garage.  I thought how I love the fastness of that Dyna but was enjoying the relaxed cruising on the EG.  I also thought of how much I "bucked" having a windshield on the Dyna ... how Chip had to talk me into it ... how I insisted on the quick release because I knew I wouldn't use it much ... and how I've never taken it off!  And, how nice it is having a true windshield and dash with the fairing!
We drove country roads with some twisties and on the way home did some city driving.  All I could say was Yeeeeehaaaaaw!!  I love this Electra Glide!!  I always thought I was a Dyna kinda girl but now I'm not so sure.  

  But I do know that I can hardly wait to get the EG on the dragon!!!
Thank you sweetheart for my WONDERFUL birthday gift!!!!!!!!!
