Default Never say never.

A little over two years ago I sold my 05 carb'd FLSTSC and bought a 2wd Ural. Have been having a ball riding the Ural but in all honesty, I have missed my Springer. I had put 88,000 miles on it and it had been bulletproof with the only issue being a weeping shift shaft seal.

When I sold my 05 I said I was done with Harley. I had ridden them for over 40 years but the Motor Company was really pissing me off with all the high tech **** they were doing with their bikes and I swore them off. Well, as the title of this thread says............."Never say Never".

Came across an 07 Springer for sale and although it has fuel injection, I think I can live with it. I sent a message to the seller but because of the Holiday weekend I have haven't gotten a response yet.

It's got low mileage and looks to be bone stock with the exception of some goofy skull gas cap. Although my 05 had some good mods and got a lot of compliments, I think if I end up with this one with the exception of the seat and a set of bags, I will probably leave it stock.

Thanks. I'm not back yet but may be soon. I am registered for the Hoka Hey again. I was going to just rent a Road Glide and do it in style but if I get the Springer, I guess I will be beating myself up again. Maybe I'll get one of those tablets or whatever they are called and do a daily journal while on the Hoka Hey.

Well, I will second Ron's welcome. You've been missed around here. Looking forward to more of your stories. I forwarded a link to your adventures to a friend on both the springer and Ural and that prompted him to buy one too.

Thought you were gone for good. Glad you're back. Would be nice to read another Hoka Hey thread.

Welcome back Mark. Hope you close the deal on the Springer. Please report back on the Hoka Hey. It was a great read a couple years ago.
