Default 98 ultra classic

And I enjoyed it, I now have a Harley.

It's a 1998 ultra classic with 53XX miles on it and has never been down, the tires
are less than two years old with less than 500 miles on them. The bike looks in great shape, I did notice a mark on each bag lid from being opened up and
hitting the upper trunk. Its all original too.nHe did take the lowers off so I have
to go to his house to pick those the the intercom head sets up on Monday

I rode the Bart train out to pleasanton and he picked me up and went out to
the Livermore airport where he had the bike with one of his many planes he
has.
It's mine now and rode it the long way home and put 75 miles on it but
wanted to get back before it got dark since its been way too long since I rode.

I didn't get any pictures yet since i was busy but will need to do that soon and
also get me service book.

These are the pictures I posted before but will update them with more later.

good for you; I've been wondering if the 2 of you ever got together on this deal. I know you've been patient waiting on it.

Thanks, I remembered riding a bike was great, but forgot how much and why
did I want so long. Oh yhea, I had two business's my wife and I had and then
the wife.

Between my wife and HS vacations and then when I was supposed to go out
and meet with him to get it he had the fuel system service and wanted a bit
more for it, then the wife wasn't doing to good and a few days later he texted
me saying if you still want it for the original deal it's yours. So I set a time
and got it.
He was a very nice guy to boot, all I can say is Thanks Jerry!

Yes she is, I found 3 blemishes on her but no big deal.


One on each lower bag lid and one on the front bumper.


Nothing that cant be fixed.
