    Well when I saw this video it reminds me to my RK I sold 2 weeks ago right now after riding 15 years on it .I changed it for a sporster but still have some cool memories after seeing this and a bit of sadness after all because I sold him.Road kings are nice machines .I had almost the same like yours.

    Thanks for sharing the experience. Riding off with the new street glide had me feeling your excitement of a new ride.

    She is a beautiful . The Road King had a great sound and was a good bike. You still have vlogs to remember the good times. The new accessories will be pretty cool when they show up. Looking forward to some new vlogs with the Street Glide. Congrats on the bike. Will be great on the next meetup. Love the color.

  • @vulcanman64
    @vulcanman64 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love the video. I ride a 2014 slim but was thinking of upgrading to a touring bike. Must have felt great sitting in your new street glide but never nice to say goodbye to your old bike. It's like a best friend.

    Congrats! Long as you're happy. I just bought a new Road King. I'm not a fairing bells & whistles kind of guy, plus love the larger frame on the Road King. Added Cobra race pro pipes, super tuner & screamin' eagle air intake & power upgrade. Things a rocket!!!

    • @williamjohnson4255
      @williamjohnson4255 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I test drove the RK and SG, both brand new 2015. I went with the RK and have no regrets. I use a Garmin GPS I already had on long trips. Got the HD Boom system which sounds good through my phone or MP3 player. Rinehart pipes to give it a lil rumble :) Larger frame played in my decision too. Also, didn't like the idea of taking my bike to the shop just because the GPS or some other built in feature wasn't working.

    I feel your pain Shawn....I know for sure you didn't want to let that 'Old Girl' go..... I just saw your reply to Edward Weiszbeck and know that you relived that pain... You rescued that 'Old Girl' my friend, no one saw what you saw when she arrived in the shop, and she was looking all old and tired....you did good by her, and she served you well, you did what you had to do, and hopefully that young lady looked after that 'Old Girl' in the manor she deserved. Hopefully...she won't be looking for that 6th gear you kept trying to find.....

    Holy Moly !! I'm back here for the second time in 3 months! (See my previous comment)You sure don't ride the SGS nearly enough Shawn..... not sure if that salesman knows what you do or who you are... but, I sure would be doing the 'I'm not worthy' 'bows' if I was trying to tell you the 'features and benefits' of a motorcycle....hats off to you Rob, great job! I think the 'trick' to selling a motorcycle is to buy the 'wrong' one in the first place, that way it would be so much easier... I'll let you know when that happens.... hated selling everyone so far....even my Honda SS50 (not sure if they were before your time Shawn...)

    @SBrandon562 7 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I just got my first Harley, as well as my first "Road Bike." I got it from my uncle, It's an '03 Road King Anniversary with less than 10k on the clock. It's also got (I believe) a stage 3 kit on it. I'm new to Harleys, But it's got the highest kit you can put on it. It's torqey as hell and it gets up and moves haha I fell in love when I rode my Brothers '16 Street Glide...I really can't wait for summer to come through, I'm going to ride the shit out of my "new" baby.

    Did the same thing a few months back. Loved all bikes I owned. The 05 custom sportster, 07 sportster low injected, and 05 FLHRCI. Had many pleasant rides. Longest trip was from deep South Louisiana to Peoria Illinois. She sat for awhile due to work related injury that has me disabled. Once I started getting a paycheck again I hot her back rolling on the highway. Not long after I started seeing preview of the 2019 bikes. The one that caught my attention most is the road glide special with a 114mk8. Almost left the dealer when they pulled one out of no where with SE1, Rhineharts and tandem docking kitt already installed. Before I knew it I was rolling out with her in industrial gray denim paint. I don't regret getting her because she a healthy beast that even at 70mph when you rap the pipes you fell a jolt of energy that makes you who it he'll yeah.

    @christopherk3361 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I wanted a street glide but it was a little out of my price range. some day I will have me one. Great looking bike Mr. Smoke looking forward to watching new upcoming adventures with her!! Just remember there is always a sacrifice to every gain.

    Congratulations on the street glide.
    I am progressing through the H-D models myself. Two weeks ago, I went from a sportster Iron to a Street Bob. Here at my preferred dealer in Queensland, Australia they don't do the Bell / Horn thing. But they do make you feel special. The Street Glide will be my next H-D purchase in a few years. Hopefully keeping the street bob also.

    Recently traded my FLHR in for an FLHX myself. Was difficult for me to as I checked off a bucket list item and rode Dragons Tail on my ole FLHR. Felt like i betrayed a trusted friend but its been a few weeks now and I love the Street Glide! Thanks for sharing.

    Awesome!! When you buy a brand new Harley it's a experience you never forget. I purchased the very first 2015 model Ultra sold at my dealership. One thing about Harley Davidson is that the dealership I've been to are the best! Congrats and enjoy!

    I was at Daytona Bike Week, I rode a Victory Vegas, I test rode a Street Glide there, my honest opinion of it, it felt like an aluminum foil POS, but after a couple more test rides, and having an explanation conversation of the difference of the two bikes, I bought an Electra Glide and cruise around a lot without the Tour Pack. All I can say is I am HAPPY with my choice also

  • @JimsTrikeAdventures

    Funny coincidence, I also traded in my ride for a brand new Street Glide Special this past Wednesday. I love that Denim Black. It has a very cool Rat Rod vibe about it. That was the color of the Street Bob I was trading in, so I decided to change things up and went with Amber Whiskey for my SGS.

  • @Dallas-Nyberg
    @Dallas-Nyberg 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice one Shawn.... It's always sad to part with an old friend, but the sadness is soon exchanged for the adrenalin rush of a new bike..
    I have a heal and toe shifter on my bike and I hate it... I have a bad habit of accidentally knocking it up to neutral when I go to take off... unfortunately mine is a complex setup and can't really be changed to a toe shifter only. I can take to it with a hacksaw and remove the heel part, but I am reluctant to do it...If and when I sell the bike, the next owner might prefer it was there....
    Enjoy your new baby - Ride Safe - Ride Far..... Cheers, Dallas
