Now on my second cycle after having my super glide for 13 yr's and 2 years into the street glide.  With all that said, I do miss being able to go trail riding but can't justify to the wife on getting a trail bike.  If I would have happen to already have the trail bike, might be able to swing the addition of a street bike.  Could sell it as I was buying it so we could ride 2 up... just for her. <img src="/images/smilies/smile.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" data-shortname=":)" />Know that was kinda long, but hope it helps!  Keep the rubber side down!</blockquote>
