Default This is crazy

Brought home my 1998 Ultra Classic a week ago and today dropped her off at the dealership for a new rear tire and to check the cold idle. Shell b there for the weekend and I'm scheduled to pick her up amp day night.

Crazy thing is, even though I know she's under lock & key at the dealership, I miss her being in MY garage. Must be love......

I even have my workbench set up in the garage, and I work there doing my IT stuff during the day, so I can be next to our 2 Harleys... ONE of which is actually an EVO!

Yep, but she's not yours. You discarded here for a newer model (sounds like a mid-life crisis to me), now that your wife has her, she is the man of the house!!!!! LOL

I thought the world would be better on a Twinkie after 111k on my Evo. after 57k Twinkie miles I sold it in August and it's now back to an Evo life. TC's are over rated.

TC's are fine as long as you do not refer to them as "Twinkies"....its a bit like calling Predator "Curly"......calling a H-D after the gay word for "sweet young gay boys" is only ever going to cause problems and whereas a cat that is pissed at you can **** in your shoe, the TC has to devise other methods to get the message across....
