my boyfriend took that yesterday on the way home from getting the rear brake fixed. I have a not great toothache so just rode a little and stayed close to home. Last night was a bitch it hurt so bad.

 

Get that taken care of! It will only get worse.

Had hoped to see you on the ride with your new beast, but completely understand. I'll have to see that new bike on another ride.

When you're maneuvering at slow speed, turning right at a light from a stop in the right lane, try dragging your rear brake a little while gently accelerating as you ride through the turn. It will greatly help the stability at slow speed. Try it and practice. Try to stay off the front brake at slow speeds until you get really comfortable with the weight difference of a touring bike. You will see the maneuverability of the touring bikes and will get better and better.

Feel better and ride safe!

 

Wish I had one of those!

 

No regrets here. Traded my 09 Ultra with loads of chrome. Made up my mind that the next Ultra was going to be a CVO. all I've done to the new bike is Power Vision, mufflers, and tour pak hinges. I think I'm done for now. (This week, anyways)

 

It's been 18 months now, just got the 18 month survey from H-D, and I love it more than when I bought it. I really learned how much of a pleasure it is to ride the FHLX3 when I rode it up to Sturgis last summer; I am not used to that level of comfort!

 

Never had any regrets on my CVO's. I'm on my 3rd now. Thing is, once you go CVO it's hard to go with anything else
