Well, I traded in the Street Glide and picked up my new bike yesterday - a 2011 Road Glide Ultra. Adjustable backrest, amazing four-speaker stereo and air ride suspension. I love this bike! (and to think I used to make fun of people who even had a windshield)

I could probably ride that if it weren't for the fact that it were too heavy for my weak little legs to hold up.

Nice!
But it looks a little dull... you might want to slap a coat of wax on it.

Next step up will be the Ultra (geezer) glide.

Seth, it is an Ultra. It is just the new Road Glide version with the fixed fairing, aka "sharknose." It has a few "sportier" details, but it is the Ultra platform. I need another LOOONG ride now.

I was talking about the FLHTCI

Actually, there is no "I" any longer. That was the designation for fuel injection when it was still an option. There is the FLHTC, which is the basic Electra Glide Classic (the bike I owned when I met my wife) and the FLHTCU or Ultra Classic, which we owned together until she started riding her own. This is the FLTRU or Road Glide Ultra, which is the same bike as the Ultra Classic with a different fairing and some styling differences. Make no mistake about it, though, the kids consider it a "Geezer Glide", too. I don't care what they call it as I ride 500+ miles a day in comfort.
I asked a kid on a crotch rocket once when he was looking at my Street Glide if he wanted to race. He gave me a strange look so I said, "First one to California wins!" He laughed.
