I've trailered my Ultra Al. I removed the bags and used the rear guards, and also the front engine guard. You have to compress the shocks but it works fine.

Thanks, Bob. My son said that the towing company has some kind of sling they use for bikes.

Al, don’t know if this location would work for you. You mentioned the Ultra has lowers.

I could probably work something out to take a Harley you want to get rid of in lieu of interest, might be a better deal than you'd get in Oklahoma.

The house is so quiet now, the loveable little beasties went home. The toddler I would have liked to see sleep all afternoon slept about 15 minutes, and the granddaughter I wanted to have fun with slept a big part of the afternoon instead. I also didn't get any points with her this morning when I forgot to put chocolate chips in her pancakes. luckily I hadn't make mine yet, so those got chocolate chips and we swapped. Microwaved the now cold chipless pancakes, and then she says, "Beer smells like poop". Beer is what I call him, he doesn't even pay any attention if I call him by the name his father gave him. After taking care of poopy smell, microwaved the cold pancakes again. Not the best pancakes I've had... I lost track of how many times I nuked the coffee, and finally dumped the last half cup. I think these kids could wear out someone half my age.

Yep, that was next. Carol saw a brief local news spot about it, 10 (10?!!) people left homeless, but they all got out ok. At least two cars destroyed, house is totaled. Neighbor texted me a photo taken this morning, I suspect they lost about everything. Fire thought to have started in the garage. Didn't say anything about the explosion I heard that whipped up the fire again when it looked like they were getting it under control. My guess would be that it was a rental with that many people. Good thing this didn't happen when that many people were sleeping, could have been a much worse disaster.
