Well I did it!! I am joining the DARK SIDE, so to speak. I ordered a 08 Electra Glide Classic.. in black.

It will be at the dealer on November 7 to the 15th. Only option is security system. If I need any of the other stuff that is on a Ultra I'll put it on later. I might do GPS and Cruise control.
Really liked the C50 but its just to small for me and the Mrs. I wanted more room for my stuff.. I HATED having to bring it in to have the valves adjusted. I did it once and now again this week. Just a PIA if you know what I mean. I have done 16000 miles in 16 months and I use it to commute also...
I had concidered the Goldwing but the wife and I have a thing about American made. I did not like the seating possition for the rider. We took and hour yesterday on a pewter Classic and I hit every bump I could see to compair it to the C50. The torque was assume. Wifey thought that the ride is much better.
I think that my daughter and her husband will buy the C50 off me so they can get into riding. Great bike for them.

The deal was ok....msrp and they eat the shipping and the setup. 1000 check for free but I heard that that was included anyway. I know some dealers around my way charge exta for it. Plus 2 hours free labor on any accesories we buy off the dealer and and they install. 9 weeks and counting!!!
