    Default Because I'm Happy

    . Well, after reading the glowing reviews on the new 14's, we traded in our 2012 RTS for a 2014 RTL. It's matte silver with the heated touring seat and backrest. I tooled around for about 150 miles today. WOW......... What a ride. smooth, sleek, silent, seductive, but not to svelt. CYA on the road...

    Way to go guys. It seems like the logical decision given that there are no real changes for 2015. I like your choice of colors too.
