Thanks Bob and I would love to make it to the NRA convention then, but I have to be in MS for my daughter's college graduation (about time as she is 39 with 3 boys and a husband that is deployed 6 months out of the year every year (Navy SeaBee)).

Bought my 2008 with a standard shft. When the SemiAuto came out in 2009 got that for the spouse. I liked it so much that when the RTS came out, I had to have the SemiAuto on that. Once you drive it a little, you will not miss the manual shifting at all. In 46 years of owning motorcycles, my RTS is the 2nd Automatic I have owned. Yes, I had one of the the first 1976 750 HondaMatics. That one had a drive gear and a low range gear--put it in drive and crank the throttle and she howled and took off like a jet engine. People would ask me--hey wheres the clutch? Wish I still had that one. When I need a shift fix, I just hop on my Vulcan and go.

This is the second auto we have owned,the Honda was the first.

The SE is fun to drive..just hit the throttle and paddle. I never thought an automatic clutch would be as enjoyable as it is.. but it is!

Wish this was available on ironhead Sportsters 40 years ago. Downside: no second gear wheelstands!:shocked:
