How do ya like that new bike, been riding much?

[Blaine]

It's doing real fine...I've put over 4 thousand miles on it since I got it, three?, four?, months ago. Getting ready for a set of Metz 880s and a 15,000 maint. and I'm taking it to Reno, Vegas, Grand Canyon, Yuma and back on the first of Sept (on the second of Sept, I'll go to AK ) I may have to jack it up a bit...it's pretty slow compared to other scoots that are 1600cc...heck, my VTX1300 was faster But, it's comfy, handles good and I like it quite a bit......Always wanted to try a Harley.

Fourth of July weekend with Mt Thielson(sp?) in the background, in the neighborhood of Crater Lake. Nice 1500 mile weekend.

Good to hear, Harley finally made a 100,000 mile motor.
Sounds like a fun ride, have fun and keep the rubber on the highway.

what size engine does your bike have? I have a 01 roadking with stage 2 big bore kit,makes it a 95 incher, some cam work, gear drive, and a power commander, it eats up stock 96 inchers, I dont see the need for more power on a bagger, but I'm sure a 127 " would be more fun

It's a stock 96er......I'm thinking Stage One w/a TFI fuel controler set to just juice up the upper RPM range, like 3000/3200 and up. As you know, 6th is pretty useless except for frugal cruising. If I'm going 60 or so, I'll kick it into 4th to get power, and it pulls hard up thru the redline.
