Scrappydue Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) so i know this has nothing to do with home theater. but it has speakers, and this is kind of my section. LOL and if i could wire up a 5.1 and watch movies on the 6.8" screen i would! trust me! anyways last july i bought a sportster 48 as it fit my requirements for my first motorcycle (easy to handle). well a few weeks ago i rode with some friends and they all have street glides. they looked so comfy and all listening to music. SOOOOO i started thinking about a new bike. well i borrowed a friends street glide. rode it. kind of nervous as its an extra 3 hundred pounds. and i cannot flat foot. but i took the plunge anyways as i can get used to the bike just as i did my sportster. I've read of lots of guys shorter than me with shorter inseams and they do fine. so i can get used to it. i picked the bike up this morning. also grabbed some vance and hines slip ons when i was there. couldn't afford the whole exhaust so mufflers for now and pipes later this year. rode home and it was very windy. radio was audible up to about 65. so that is immediately on my radar for an upgrade. as it should be since i love high end audio! anyways here she is! 2015 Harley Road Glide Special Edited May 12, 2015 by Scrappydue 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Beautiful color, matches perfectly with my wife's Ram 1500! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted May 12, 2015 Moderators Share Posted May 12, 2015 I like the color also, looks comfortable, I know nothing about bikes but it looks great. Be safe dude, they let anyone have a license to drive 4 wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5SS Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I know nothing about motorcycles but that is one sweet looking ride! Congrats Scrappy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Very exciting! Good deal! I am a former biker, MX, cross country, enduro, hare scrambles, and various medium sized 650cc and under street bikes and there is NEVER a time when I see a bike on the road and I don't think "that looks like fun." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputnik Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Congratulations on the new bike. Remember last year when I nagged and nagged you to get a good helmet. Glad to see you wearing more than a doo rag but please, consider a top of the line full face helmet. Get a nice quiet one (I like Schuberth) and set it up for bluetooth audio - you'll love the clean sound. Enjoy your new ride. http://www.schuberth.com/en/motorcycle/src-systemtm-pro.html http://www.schuberth.com/en/motorcycle/c3-pro.html Edited May 12, 2015 by sputnik 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbert Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Nice bike, looks like a rolling sofa or lazy-boy chair on wheels..... I'm not there yet, or fighting it tooth and nail, and still leaning toward the sport side. Love the twisties, and handling characteristics (not to mention all the bottom end torque the V's dish out), so added BST carbon fiber wheels. Dropped about 8 and 10 pounds of unspring mass front and rear, respectively. Makes for a huge difference in handling, by reducing rotational inertia.

Shakeydeal Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Now for some true duals/stage 1! 2-1 for more torque...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Sargent Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 2-1 for more torque...... Yes, that can be a fun variant, but the sound of true duals is tops for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Yes, that can be a fun variant, but the sound of true duals is tops for me. me too. plus i can't stand the look of a bagger with a single exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
