I don't know, my Ultra never failed me and I decided to go ride my FXB, because it hadn't been out in a while. Got back and pulled the Ultra out and she wouldn't start.
Not one to sweat the small stuff I got on my FLSTC and had a nice ride.

Oh believe me, I'm a winterizer too....seen that scene above more times than I can count.

I was just facetiously paraphrasing a frequent reply one of our heroic members posts when this subject comes up.

I actually met this guy right after the divorce. One of the battery terminal screws had worked loose. Lights, fuel pump worked, but not enough juice to kick the starter and energize the spark.

Idk, 1 year ago my wife wouldn't even get on the back of my bike. Last weekend I bought her a 2013 sportster 72! She starts her safety course in a month or so with a couple of her friends.

I know a gal with three of them two sporties and a Slim. She is rebuilding the iron head Sportster herself. Engine was apart in her kitchen this past winter.

Agreed, 'why would anyone have 2 Harley's', I should have 3. Looking to add a trifecta with a Shovel or Pan.
