We bought two Suzuki C50s one month apart from the same dealer. We even didn't get a pair of gloves. And I traded in my C50 for a brand new Nomad and everyone here knows Nomad is a high caliber bike and not cheap. What did I get from the dealer? Nothing. Trev Deeley does it in style. They offered me a Heritage for a day when they took my Nomad for trade-in inspection. Another time I got a Street Glide for my personal demo. All they say when they do that is "you have full tank of gas, go have fun". Login or Register to Remove Ads |

That Ultra will handle like a sportbike compared to the Nomad.

Maybe it's a good thing? I didn't have to wait another year and got a 103 ci Electra this year. |

Other than that, I walked through the showroom to motorclothes where I bought a new mesh jacket and then to the parts department to pickup the 2013 P&A catalog. As far as them keeping the 110" for the CVO's, they need something to justify the $35,000 price tag. When I bought mine, the 103" was only offered in a few bikes, like the Ultra Limited. In 2012, the 103" was the standard engine.

Glad you're having fun with the bike Elvis. don't forget that you could get some time on the bike this Sunday. If my heals up I think I'll be meeting Duff in Burlington and go in to the Oyster Run with him. Then meet up with Kris in Anacortes.

Nice bike Elvis, I like the color combo. Be prepared for people to slow down to the posted speed limit once they spot you in their rear view mirror though, especially if you have a matching white helmet.

As a matter of fact, I have a white helmet that I often use in the city. |

Nice looking scoot. I have friends who love their Glides. If your ever down this way look me up. Always up for riding the dragon and fun roads up in NC/TN area.

All Glides are really very nice bikes, I highly recommend taking one for a spin. My dream is to ride kitty corner across the States and see Key West some day. And it would be logical to ride the Dragon on the way back. |

I missed this thread. Congrats on the new bike! It looks nice. I wish my Vision came with security. It's something (aftermarket) I'll add this winter. Seems like alot of long time Nomad riders are trading to touring bikes these days. Nice looking!
