I have been bitten by the bug again ! It's almost 3 years and I love my 2007 Fatboy. When I purchased this bike thought I was good for many years to come. Custom paint job, Vance & Hines longshots, engine guard, running lights, saddle bags, windshield, highway pegs and things I can't remember unless I look at my file of receipts. On other posts I have stated my next bike would be the Street Glide and until this past Saturday that is what I really believed. It is to me a fact that once you have a Harley it seems natural to move up or down the food chain as you become to realize what you are looking for in a motorcycle. My local dealer has had the factory tour demo rides more than usual this year. About a month ago on one of these demo days I rode the Street Glide several time on a Saturday and thought it's a good bike and I liked everything about it. After buying a Fatboy and buying all the extra I needed the touring bikes are a much better deal. This past Saturday on another demo day I rode the Ultra Classic Electra Glide Screaming Eagle just to see what it was like. WOW.....this bike is so well balance and very easy to ride and takes curves better than any bike I have had a chance to ride. Ok.. now here is what I'm thinking. My wife rides her own bike and does not ride two up with me except maybe when on a trip she may ride to dinner on the back because we have been riding all day. I do not need the rear speakers and intercom. Now I'm thinking the Electra Glide Classic. I like the radio and CD player and the fact I can put the tour pak on a quick release solo rack and when riding around town have basically a Street Glide but have would have CD player that the Street Glide does not. The bikes are the same price and the Street Glide I would have to spend a $1000.00 to add the tour pak with the quick release. I admit that I have convince myself this is the way to go.... tell me what I might be mistaken because of the results of being bitten.When will the craziness stop? Somebody please help me !!!!
