They look pretty cool but way more money that I would spend.

Oh for sure. If I decide to do it It will likely be either a RSV or a Goldwing.

We will head home in about 4 hours. Weather could be better but I’m hoping we will miss the worse of it. Eileen told me yesterday that she wants me to look for a trike. I’m on the fence about it but we’ll see. We’ve had a Spyder and a Slingshot and I didn’t like either one. So if it’s a trike, it will be a conventional style.

Thanks for the nice replies. I’ll update again when we get home. Looks like we may have to ride home in thunderstorms. Hope not. I think we have pretty much confirmed our fears that this will be it. I will be putting the bike up for sale when I get home. I can tell you this though, this site will continue with my full support. Nothing changing on that front.

It is possible, maybe probable, that Eileen and I will embark on our last motorcycle ride today. I bought this bike about 2 years ago with around 8500 miles on it. It is a 2008 Harley Ultra Classic. After two years, it only has a little over 10,000 miles on it. This is primarily due to the fact that Eileen has not been doing well for at least that long and we haven't been about to take the trips like we used to. The bike has been ridden one time this year, maybe 3 months ago for about 40 miles. So today, Eileen and I are going to try a relatively short trip. It will be about a 4 hour trip one way and then back on Monday. I didn't want to do it because I'm not at all sure that her back will be able to take it but she insists that she wants to give it a try. After his weekend, I will make the decision to either keep the bike, if she does ok, or finally admit that our riding days are over. We will get back late Monday and then I'll have to really give it some thought. Spent the day yesterday getting the bike ready. Tire pressure, oil, etc. Battery was toast so I put a new battery on it. WOW....$155.00 for a new battery. Anyway, I have mixed feelings about even attempting this trip but hopefully it will go well. If not, somebody will end up with a very nice 2008 Ultra Classic with less than 11000 miles on it.

I agree. Also, try tapping on the side of the carb bowls. You likely have a stuck float and tapping on he side of the bowls with the handle of a screwdriver or something will often dislodge whatever is causing them to stick.

Moved. Thanks.
