As far as waving.. I am sure that won't be an issue
Seems like there are a few of us Central Michigan guys around... Do you guys meet up for rides or whatever?

Welcome from another Central Michigander!
Nice ride. Great story.
I was able to get in several fall cruises this year with the abnormally warm days we've had here and there over the past 5 or 6 weeks of fall colors. Almost 8K on my ride this year.
I will tell you that after you get the feel for your 2010 you have to test ride a Rushmore. Some real major improvements. As long as you have a payment book have the best ride you can.

I was looking at the 2016 Road Glide Ultra, but didn't want the price tag. Maybe when I trade this one in.. years down the road.

The porch is scheduled to get an overhaul, but there are other areas that are taking some priority on the house. It's coming...

Love the story, great how it all rolled out for you.
Don't tell her, but i think your wife should get some jewelry
or something, she put up with a lot, sitting on that little pad. ouch,
don't worry about the trim, i'm still trying to finish my dang deck.
Anyway, ride safe, congrats on the ride,
is that the scarlet red? Nice.

Welcome from central WI. Just ignore everybody telling you to get a newer bike. Ride your own ride. That bike is a beauty.
That fairing really makes cold weather a lot more tolerable. A couple of years ago, in July, I rode through the UP and down to Hale, MI, with my wife. On the way there it was 94 degrees. On the way back it was 47 degrees, and I only had my textile outer jacket on. Thank God for that fairing or I would have froze.

Mike the sales guy was good. That's about the extent of my dealings so far.... so far... lol. I have a feeling I will get to know the parts guys pretty well with what I want to add.

I've not as of yet met up with guys from the forum for rides but I do set up quite a few rides during the season with people I know, usually 3 -4 of us head out to SR-22/Onekama, Tawas/River Road, Ludington/Pentwater/Whitehall, we'll go near any direction for a day ride when ever we can. You'd be most welcome to go, one of the guys I ride with is on a GoldWing and he'll just D.I.E. die, if there's another HD in the group; he hates my Wide Glide's pipes

Welcome from the land of tulips and windmills. The wife and I will be retiring this coming summer and will be riding the east side of the state more, maybe even taking the fast ferry to Milwaukee to the museum. In Aug. of 2013 bought a new Road Glide Ultra, been to Blue Ridge Parkway and over to the factory in York, PA. The wife picked up anew hobby on the bike on our rides, pictures of old barns, that keeps her busy and happy. Congrats on the "new" ride, and you may want to consider saddle bag guards, just sayin'.
