Nice run!! How about the rear end wobble when ya got off the bike??? Hehe!!!

 

Sounds like a great ride!

 

my a## was wobblin all over then .rode 2500 last year on my 06 heritage and it didnt hurt this bad

 

Never riddin an Ultra... just did 2850 in 8 days two weeks ago on my RKC.. no problem! Actually it was in seven days... one day I rode maybe three miles so I won't count that one!

 

I just did the dragon last weekend. Was there in the rain saturday. Find the thread on wooden bead seat covers. I put one on my bike and did almost a thousand miles in two days and never had a bit of soreness. That and the under armour shorts kept me cool, dry and pain free.

 

I just got back from an 8 day ride too. Three of us with our wives went from Phoenix AZ up to Red Lodge Montana. We rode through the Big horn mountains and Bear tooth pass. Wow was that beautiful, no sore butt on my Sundowner seat! The bike ran strong it turned 50K on the trip

 

Two thou around France on my '08 was fine - it was the traffic problems in England which caused me suffering.

Firstly, the heat from the engine/pipes when stuck at a standstil for limited to slow filtering was incredible. I can't believe a couple of bits of plastic would make a difference but would love to hear from anyone who swears they do.

Then there was the **** pain which only occured the once when being held to a slow crawl for seven hours on the M25/M1/M6 by idiots who should rip up their driving licences.

 

We headed from the Memphis area to the left coast, up to Monterey, CA, to Yosemite, to Carson City, NV, across Hwy 50 to St George, UT, through Zion, then to Glenwood Springs, CO, across Independence Pass to Clayton, NM. The last day.... 950 miles home. Yes, it was a long day. The wide butt H-D solo seat w/backrest really helped.

I spoke with my H-D dealer about the 2010's the other day. I told him I have 9000 miles on the bike he sold me 7 months ago. He was surprised! Damn... I bought it to ride, not sit in the garage. Ride safe gang.

BTW, I did notice some low speed front wobble (around 20 to 30 mph) if I didn't have at least one hand on the handlebars. Anybody experienced this before?

 

Wow, you guys make me feel like I don’t ride my bike enough.
