Of course it was B L A C K Stan ... The old boy I got it from was near deaths door.

 

When I was picking up the Ultra a couple years ago,I was in the service dept. with the salesman. Service manager yells over .." Al, you want to schedule your 1000 mile service for next week?".. I answerd " No that's Ok" and under my breath " I'm doing it myself"

Doc probably would have scheduled his for the same week if was wasn't doing it himself.

I bought 3 new ones in 3 years and my son did the same, before the dealership was sold. I had a GREAT relationship with the owner ....15 -16% discount on new bike. Couldn't buy a used one that cheap.

 

I've put on 9K in less than 2 years. Not bad for a guy that works from home, I guess

 

i had a honda vtx 1300 that i put 58,000 on it in 5 years. i always ride between 10 and 12,000 a year. the first year i was seperated from my ex i rode 17,000 miles

 

If I was single and didn't have kids I would ride a whole lot more.

 

I bought my 96 Fatboy off my Uncle with 18,000 on it in 2007.

 

a lot of guys do the poker runs and trips back and fourth to the dealerships to look for tee shirts. you see these people everywhere, with their brand new jackets, boots, gloves, vest, belt, wallet, helmet , cool bandanna

 

they keep harley in business buying the new hot toy with the new gadgets

 

Mark, pretend you have a one hour commute every morning. Leave an hour early and go for a ride and come back to the office.

 

Mine had .4 miles on it when I bought it. New of course. Shes got like 140,000 in her now.
