Road Glide? Possibly the ugliest HD made IMO.

Certainly did not sell as well as other tourers in their line up.

Brad complains when it's in the 50's. So how did you make out in the snow?

I had about 8" overnight at my house but it is still snowing, I am sure we will end up with 10"-12". Supposed to be in the 60's next week so all of this s**t will melt very soon. We are up to about 70" for the season and we didn't have any melt off until about 2 weeks ago.
Ground was bare in places where the sun hits it if snow wasn't piled from plowing or shoveling. We will have spring sometime in the next few months

This is looking out my office window this morning.

I left work at 1:30 yesterday afternoon and went riding, I must have seen a hundred 2014 Harley Davidson touring bikes. It seemed like every other bike was a new Harley. Sunny with a temp of 66 when I left and a toasty 70 degrees when I pulled into my garage at about 6:00 p.m. Brought the bike home from my work where I keep it over the winter. Hope more of my NCR brethren are getting in a few miles.
