Think I got a great deal, 2002 with 5k miles. Found it a two hour drive away. It been a few year since I last road. And it was windy as I can ever remember for Wisconsin. I was a bit nervous about that the long drive home with such a bad wind. But took it slow and made it home.

The bike has screaming eagle pipes on witch I did not even know till after I got there. After I got it home a noticed the tires looked low and sure enough only 10lbs in each. I could kick my self for not checking that before the ride home. Lesson learned on that.

But all in all it looks great to me and I am back on a Harley! I had to ice down my mouth from the 2 hr smile I had on way home with ice cold beer!! But I am going to make it!!

Got a few questions about some upgrades I want to make but will do that later.

Did I hear beer? Welcome from Calgary. Glad you got home safe. There's nothing like a beer after a good ride.
