That Road Glide Ultra fits you!

Dave · 12-19-2010, 09:17 PM

I wanted to get a better look at the new BMW K1600 GTL but people were swarming all over that bike.

I think it was the most popular bike at the show.

One of the BMW dealers there says they are pre-selling a lot of them at his store.

works fine now

**glwilson** · 12-19-2010, 09:50 PM

LOL!! You guys looked like a couple kids in a candy-store!!!

Dave... I'll bet the new BMW was gathering all the attention. You know; with all the hype and apparent "demand" on that bike; I would think it would be better to wait a year or so before buying one so you could put some balance to the "supply-n-demand" for a better price -- and because it is a new bike -- to let them work-out the bugs they are going to have with it.

Otherwise you may end-up with an over-priced bike with problems the whole world knows about and you'll get crap for re-sale value.

Greg,
Sometimes you make me dizzy when you talk logic like that!!

Brad, it looks like you guys had a great time. I'm sure that the International MC show has accidentally dropped Pocatello off of the tour list. Should be showing up here any day now.

blowndodge · 12-20-2010, 01:03 AM

We had a great time Bud, Greg, but I can't understand the 4 straight day of constant rain! We are setting records in California... 5 more inches are expected in the next 3 or 4 days.... I guess we need the moisture but I want to ride...

**glwilson** · 12-20-2010, 07:53 AM

From the sounds of it, California is preparing to slide-off into the ocean with all the rain you are supposed to get. Then they were saying it was supposed to snow 15 feet in the mountains. WOW!

cactusjack · 12-20-2010, 09:11 AM

BD, you look like you were meant for that Road Glide! Sweet bike, isn't it?

Yeah, everyone pokes fun, but those are sweet bikes. I went in to look at the road glide and almost went home with an electra glide.
