Going good Jeff. How about you (besides super healthy)

No, don't know why it doesn't want to go any faster. Maybe because it has to carry my fat azz around?

I don't really need it to go faster. I wouldn't want to get caught going that fast anyway. They can take your bike, there are HUGE fines and insurance will definitely go up! I'll just keep putting away and enjoying the scenery.

BWAHahahahahaha ! I can hook you up with a health coach !!
I'm not healthy in my book, but I guess my blood is?

Maybe your Ultra aint suppose to go any faster than that, with the bags, and fairing and all? How fast would it go when you first bought it?

I don't think that it has ever been faster than that. It was just the bogging thingy that was concerning me.

Oh by the way. I did change my air filter element and It seems to help, Thank you very much. I am going to change out my plugs too. I haven't done that since last year anyway.

Every little bit helps. And the crappy gas they sell these day, well you never really know what your getting. When I lived in Algood I ran Shell hi test only. They don't sell nothing like that down here, but my bike is running really well this summer.

I hear ya. I try to run ESSO or Shell, but sometimes you don't have to many choices.
My bike is running good for the most part. I am getting around 50mpg and it is no slouch to get up to speeds.
