OT - Motorcycles - Went To The Darkside
08 Ultra Classic with only 11,500 miles. Almost an even trade for the 08 Wing (got the Harley for under wholesale from a Honda dealership that wanted the Wing and didn't want the Harley). It's a real nice ride, but not as fast as the Wing. Fits me good. If it holds up, no regrets on the trade.

Re: OT - Motorcycles - Went To The Darkside
Very nice. Hope you enjoy it. Other bikes may be faster but having a Harley is like no other. I've ridden lots of bikes and have owned three Harley's . My 08 streetglide my current ride.

Very nice! I would have made that trade also. I went backwards from you, had a gold wing, then bought a kawasaki drifter, then to my present a 2007 electra glide. I have 16,000 miles on mine. Wifey has a harley (heritage classic) and I have a 2nd for work and puttin around (dyna superglide). Again nice bike and let us know what you think after putting some miles on it. Ride safe.

Re: OT - Motorcycles - Went To The Darkside
Very nice. I don't see it as a downgrade at all. Love my 2006 Street Bob.

Kind of what I thought. But I can also see the draw of an HD. There's nothing else made that sounds the same.vancelw wrote:Can't fault a man for owning any scooter...I hate it that you had to downgrade

As I gave up the big bikes, I found out how much I liked exploring. I now ride TW200 Yamies.

Re: OT - Motorcycles - Went To The Darkside
Well, I got that way when they quit making my Valkyrie Interstate. Teenager wrecked me out on mine and I didn't replace it in time. Won a few bets with the "Made in USA" cast into the block.BlaineG wrote:Not anymore....they pulled production of the Goldwings and VTXs back to Japan....sorta urined me off....vancelw wrote:That's why he should have kept the Goldwing - Made in Marysville, Ohio.txpete wrote:lifes to short to ride a jap motorcycle TTT .congrats on a fine looking bike.

Nice bike Blaine. Looks perfect to chew up those long-distance miles. Big touring machines like that aren't my thing, but I could care less about what a guy rides. As long as you ride, man.
Enjoy it!
