Hello all, My dad bought this Dyna new in '05 and it got me into getting my 1st Harley a '04 Road King and then later '08 Ultra. About 4 years ago I sold the Ultra and have been Harley-less since, unfortunately earlier this year my dad passed so of course I brought his baby home. he was unable to ride it since late 2013 after suffering a mild stroke that concerned his safety so it sat. It had been on a trickle charger all these years in his garage and when I loaded it last week in the trailer it started right up. It has 52k miles on it and at 32k my dad had a 95 big bore and cam put in so it runs really strong. The wife and I took it out the other night and it runs perfect. Just wanted to share and look forward to being in this Dyna forum.

That is so cool. You got dad's old scoot. Congrats. The memories will always be with you. Very nice.

 

My dad passed in 2008 and I got his olld bike. My brother recently got sober with some help from out patient rehab so I gave him the bike for coining out. Man, he's riding like a motorcycle addict now! He cant stay off it. Lol
The thing is you'll never be able to sell something that close to ur old mans heart, my bro appreciates it more due to that. Have fun be safe!

 

Thanks @Kawickrice

My dad used to come out from his home in Wyoming here to NorCal and run it down the quarter as per my name (990 RT Racer) that is what I do in my spare time, I race a 9.0 second '70 tube chassis Challenger, Here are a couple pictures I found in his house.

 

Congrats on your brother, and yes I agree, this Dyna will be passed down to my son in law someday, Not for sale!

 

Good looking bike!

 

Nice bike, nicer history!

 

Get a new battery, and ride it!

I seriously doubt Honda has stories like this.

 

Great story! Your dad would have liked it.

 

And tires! I had a 10 year old front tire with 10,000 miles on it blow out on the trailer ride home.
