From ________ to Streetglide?

From 12 Yamaha XVS 950 Midnight Star to 14 Street Glide.
My second bike and I'm in love with it!

LuiBrazil- That's generally the reaction once we get on one of these. Then the wallet hemorrhaging begins!
 
I went from a 2005 V-Star 1100 Custom to a 12 Yamaha Raider to 15 SGS. My thoughts are this, the SGS is the best bike I've owned so far but for specific reasons. 1.) entertainment package, 2.) looks, 3.) Storage, 4.) the most comfortable and 5.) the smooth ride. While the Raider was the most powerful bike by far, I just simply could not find bags that look good on that bike and I need storage. So I sold it and bought an SG. I do miss the power of the Raider but am definitely looking forward to long rides on the Glide.

Toss a Can-Am in there and you have all the fringe bikes covered!
 
Back in the day I did have my eye on a Can-Am & Husqvarna, but ended up with a OSSA. lol

I had a Husqvarna 500cr in my Navy days. Awesome for the Imperial Sands Dunes rec area, really bad for the not so wide open spaces back home....

Way too many bikes in the last fifty years to list here. Bought our 2011 Street Glide last December.
Wife and I rode this for the last six years. Sold it last April. First trike I ever rode or owned and it was a total blast.

Clint that thing looks like lot's of fun. Just wondering how many sets of back tires you put on while you had it??? "LOL"
 
I was born on a 1997 YZF 1000R Thunderace, many awesome memories and scares. This spring it will be time to let her go.
