Congrats Greg....nice looking ride. I got out for a couple hundred miles yesterday with a few other folks. I saw a blue one just like it on the ferry and checked it out pretty good. Nice improvements on the 2014 models for sure. CJ is going to be jealous....!

Coming from a 96 to the new upgraded 103 (improved cam), there is definitely an increase in power. Didn't notice much difference between the 96 and the previous old 103; although there was more power -- it was just not a big enough increase to make a difference to me. But there is a difference now. Lastly, the hydraulic clutch, new trunk latches, increased space (not at much as a Vic though), LED lights, linked ABS brakes, improved electronic gadgets, and more make this a major improvement to previous Harleys. I would venture to say they are not even in the same class. Jealous yet CJ?

Nope. Why would I be jealous? I'm happy with my "outdated" 2011 Ultra Limited.
It's amazing what you can learn about a bike when you ride it instead of tow it, eh?

Looking in a mirror Greg?
By the way, nice looking bike. Have fun breaking it in (on the trailer).

Hey thanks Joel... However, I have been the butt of just about everyone's joke at one point or the other. I have thick skin... I can take... the bastards! All of them!!

Sorry Greg, I was just having a little fun at your expense. I still think your bikes get more mileage on the trailer than they are ridden though. That is a nice looking bike. I wouldn't mind some of the new technology, I'm just waiting until they are vetted a little longer before considering a move.
