Required in NY but I would wear all the time anyway, got a 12 y/o daughter and would like to be there to give her away at her wedding someday.

Congrats! What a great Christmas present.

Me too! I'm terrified of heights. When they got to the point where he was free-climbing the last few feet I had to stop watching.

Don't get me wrong, I respect HD and those that ride/own them. I've got a '79 XLH in my stable, all original (including the stock Siamese 2>1

I don't mean to put anybody down, and I'm sure some folks find this to be a "special" bike, but other than a commemorative insignia and paint job the reality is that it's just a 23 year old Electra Glide.

12.5K for an '88? Hmmm........ here's a 2000 (14K miles) for 12,500: item # 200548631534 and a 2001 (24K miles) for 12,500: item # 270671441938 and a 2001 (20K miles) for 11,400: item # 370457563722 even a 2005 (33K miles) for 12,000: item # 120650931684 etc, etc, etc.......you get the point. I looked at a nice 1998 this past Spring with 70K on it and they were asking $6000.00 (at a dealer, no less). I'm no expert but in my neck of the woods the going price on an '88 ultra is going to be @4-5000.00.

Things To Do While Waiting For Coffee To Brew...

I hear ya Bob, and it hasn't even really snowed yet. -
Hey Cliff, I'm with the majority on this one. I've had my 86 VR since late September, not sure which brand sneakers are on it (I'll have to take a look tomorrow) but the first thing I did after getting it home for the first time was air up the tires to the max rated cold psi stamped on the sidewalls. I run the slab with the cruise control set @ 70-75; she tracks straight and true (even with only one hand on the bars). Only time I've been uncomfortable being blown around was in 40 MPH crosswind on a late season ride. Carves turns like a sport bike too (albeit an 800 lb sport bike!). By contrast, my 79 FE wanders like a Gypsy at highway speeds compared to the Yammy. Let us know how you make out.

Welcome Cliff, I recognize you from the IHSG. I just picked up an 86 VR about a month ago and I can assure you it's a lot more comfortable ride on those long hauls than our FE's are. Good to see a familiar face here, there's a bunch of great folks and tons of tech knowledge so pony up the 12 beans and hang out for a bit. --- Todd (Stormin)

Good for ya! I've been clean for a bit over a year now (after 1.5 packs a day for almost 30 years). I quit several times too but it never stuck. Biggest incentive for me to stay clean now is financial; the extra couple hundred $$ a month have allowed me to indulge in my other habit: motorcycles! Just remember, you never really "quit", you just "stop" smoking for the rest of your life. I know dang well that if I have just one cig I will be right back to a pack-a-day in no time flat. Good luck. --Todd
