Such a pretty day for a ride..

She's home. And wow...if you want to really appreciate a dresser, ride a vintage hardtail flathead around for a while first. I'm spoiled already...I bet I put more miles on the dresser in the nect two weeks than I've put on the flattie in a whole year.:eyebrow:

Now, just make sure you don't jump on a Goldwing and the FLH will seem, and stay, just fine! :buddies:

The oldest HD dresser I've ridden was an '07. Throw in an '09 and couple of 2010's, including one 103 with ABS and, I have enjoyed every mile on 'em.

I've yet to ride a Road King I like except for one SE with ape hangers that was just a bad ass bike. Not into a soft tail. Still meaning to ride a Roadglide.

Since '09 when they stretched the frame a whole inch or whatever it was, and it does make a difference, I've been thinking in the back of my mind I'll end up on a Road Glide or FLHTCU.

However, I've yet to try either of these out...

My last 'big bike' was an '85 FLHTC. This FLHTC is, at '01, the newest bike I've ever owned or ridden, both, and is bike number 15. I think I'm OK now..the '85 dresser was bike number 13 and I got safely past that. :razz:

Of those 15 motorcyles over 40 years, only one of them was bought new. I've been sorely tempted many times though...

Actually..the tires would have passed but were not too far from being done. This way I'll start out with everything at 100% and wear it out from there.

32K miles on the ticker. Has some nice upgrades; Mustang seats...reverse gear kit...full-length dual exhaust (not sure what make but sounds awesome)..a cam upgrade and Mikuni carb to match ('carb' is the only bummer really..its not EFI)

Is there a seat for ..... :whistle:

I'm chomping at the bit but, have bills to pay. Love the Strat for everything but lots of highway miles, point A to point B stuff, where the lack of cruise, fairing and tunes gets old. Every HD dresser I've ridden, even after 3-400 miles, I'd get back on it. My bike, after a high mile day, I'm happy to get off.

Me too, but one trip to the dealer looking at prices has worked so far.

Well, I wouldn't mind having a choice now that you mention it. Hmm the BMW, the HD or the Victory today? Like to have a lighter one for quick trips too.

I'd have;

YZ 250 (have) to break things

CRF 230 (have) while healing from the YZ

XR650L so I can go from the back fields to the doctors for check ups

1200GS Adventure so I can go from the back fields to the docs and to the lake, 2 up and with stuff (ridden one, awesome bike)

2012 Road Glide Ultra cruising with stuff

Haybusa (had) because of that engine. Just me. A YZ for the highway.

Victory Cross Country Tour (never road one)

2006 Road King Screaming Eagle with apes (road it, just a FUN scoot, looks cool, bar bike)

BMW 1600GTL (haven't ridden)

2012 Gold Wing. With Reinhardts on it. :evil:

Yami R6 for when I feel 16 (ridden)

And, then, in the other garage...

:dye:

I would add a cool custom chopper to that too. To impress people on poker runs and gatherings ya know? Sport bikes? I guess if I was super rich, I didn't like the 2 I rode. BMW would be the on/off road one for sure. Since we're dreaming.

#### it! I can't take this no mo'! Who wants to ditch work and ride to Deep Creek tomorrow for lunch and back?
