    After a few weeks of ownership

    So I have had this bike for only a few weeks now after trading in my 07 FLSTN and I have asked myself why I didn't do this sooner albeit with the additional features on the 2015 compared to previous years hate to say it but I am glad I did wait. It has everything that I previously had to add on to other bikes with the addition of a full cruise control that has as of yesterday made me very happy. The bike corners like a dream and is more comfortable than anything else I have had the pleasure of riding. It is just a tad higher than I have been use to with the exception of my Triumph Rocket that had me on my toes multiple times and nearly killed me a few years back but that's another story. I am honestly surprised by the bike as it took on everything I could throw at it up in the mountains and even so far as urban areas like Atlanta. I almost wanted to find a fault in the bike and I can not. Yeah I had to change a few things and adjusted some others but that's the lay of the land. I think this thing will be racking up plenty of miles during the next few months. Now if we could invent some sort of in ride refueling I would be very happy

    Ditto

    I'm right there with you. My '15 is about 6 weeks old and I'm loving it more and more every time I ride it. Added a few options for comfort and safety to make it my own.

    Ride safe.

    That's really cool to hear.

    After experiencing it myself, I'm now under the impression that, as motorcycle enthusiasts, you are not complete until you've ridden a GL1800... either a full Goldwing or especially the F6B.

    Well during a rocket only event in the mountains. All be it we all had the same bikes we were always trying to show off. Well up on the blue Ridge Parkway the road turned and I did not and off the side of the mountain I went. Luckily I was able to jump off in time and the bike was cushioned by the soft ground. After everyone helped pulled the bike up I jumped back on to get back to the hotel and went into full shock and nearly lost it again. I siezed up and went numb. My Left side was trashed and I am still living with the problems
