Have them deliver it to you in an enclosed trailer if you have a place to keep it inside.

I thought about that and the dealer said they would deliver it
but it's probably better staying at a warm HD shop then sitting
in my cold garage. But the first sunny 50 degree day with no snow on the
ground she out of there. Hell I'll probably have to dig a trail out for them
when they come get the springer. To much snow around here now
even to take the springer for that one last ride.
I have over 38,000 on 2000 Ultra and 12,000 on 2008 Ultra. Yes I will buy another Ultra, and am likeing the 2009 more and more, but I will wait to see what MoCo does with the 2010.
The compensating sprockets on the 07 - 2008 are causeing problems. My 08 is at the dealer now. The compensating sprocket was mashing itself - literally. I am having the new SE compensating sprocket put in place of the stock.

Seems like this thread is dead...but just in case.
I have a '78 1/2 Electra Glide Shovel (That I bought in 92)...Not really sure how many miles are on it. It's on it's third speedometer (not all of them replaced 'cause they died..once for cosmetic reasons during a rebuild). I'll guess about 45,000.
Also, have an '08 Road Glide-Anniversary Edition (bought new) that is a couple hundred past 10,000 on it. I really like it...no complaints at all.
Won't get rid of the Shovel....Someone will inherit that one.
I REALLY like the improvements made to the '09 Touring bikes. May start sniffing around in 2010 and see what happens. The new bikes have an extra 75lbs load capacity over the earlier bikes (I'm 6' 7" about 250...and already went on a diet...I'm as skinny as I'm gonna get so safe the wise-cracks) and when I ride two up, we're cutting it close on the max weight. That extra 75 lbs would make me feel better. The re-routed exhaust and the rear cylinder shut off capabilities sound pretty righteous too.
So...I've not really answered your question have I.... Ummmmm....Don't trade them in unless you HAVE too!
