From ________ to Streetglide?
86 Honda VT1100 Shadow, 88 Harley FXR. 92 Honda ST 1100, 2000 Dyna Convertible, 2003 Road King Classic, 2014 SGS.
It's been a process and while my ST1100 was one of the most fun bikes in the world to ride there was almost no way to make it my own, the Road King Classic was a very comfortable ride but the SGS is absolutely amazing IMO.....I'm back to the fun of the "rideness" (is that a word) of the ST1100 with the comfort (and then some) of the RKC.....all in all the overall best motorcycle I have owned to date!!!

Oh wow,gotta think about this.
First one was 1965 Sears and Roebuck 3 hp mini bike my brother and i bought together.
We were 8 & 9 at the time. Not a great idea lol. Rode that thing till it blew up. Of course numerous dirt bikes.
First street bike 1974 Kawasaki 400 new, their first entry into the 4 stroke market.
Didn't own another (Family Time) till 1999 Suzuki Intruder. Then 06 Street Glide loved that bike.
08 HD Classic Wife Hated That One.
Back to a used 99 Intruder.
Now a 2014 Street Glide.
Now we are both Happy

- 1988 Harley FXR
- 1992 Honda ST1100-ABS (Loved this bike)
- 2000 Harley FXDX Convertible

Throwback- Back in 1973 one of my co workers bought the all new Honda CB 750 Four, Honda's largest at the time I believe. It was all of $1200! NEW MSRP was about $1495 and it was the first bike with ALL disc brakes. It wasn't the biggest though, Kawasaki had a ZI 900.
Just started riding this year, went from an 06 night train to my 14 SGS. I really liked the night train, but love the street glide.
I purchased my first street bike in 1979 at the age of 16.
It was a 1973 CB175 with on 200 only miles on it.
1980 CM 400
1983 XT175
1986 XT350
1991 XT350
1971 Electro glide (Green with only 4000 miles)
2001 Road Star Silverado
2004 Road king Classic. I put 40,000 miles on it and loved the bike, till I bought my SGS.
2015 Street Glide Special
