Hello Everyone: Interesting read. After a 25 year absence from the sport, we purchased our "new to us" 05 RSTD in July of 2007. It had 15k on it then. Just what our marrige needed. The bike now has 50K on it and many memories with friends from this site.
The bike has had a few near misses. Tornado damaged storage unit, building shifted, could not raise the garage door. Fire at same storage unit a year later consumed 12 other units but stopped one unit short of ours. Heavy smoke damage (No heat damage) but fine otherwise. ( I think I will name her "Lucky")
I suspect my wife likes to ride on our bike more than I do.
