Default MAMA! baby boy is comming home

Selling my '02 GL1800 ABS to a guy tommarrow. Great "bike", had it just 10 months, but it ain't a "motorcycle". More like a two wheel car.

Sealling the deal on a new '07 FLHTCU today. Previouslyhad purchased a new '03 Sportster and loved it, just wasn't big enough. So this time I went BIG and got myself a early retirement present.

I'm looking forward to jawing with you all on this forum. I always felt like I had to hide my beer when I was on the Wing message boards.

I'M BAAAAAACK!

can ya tell I'm pumped

Welcome aboard!

I kept my Goldwing when my wife bought me my 2007 Ultra
for my birthday last fall. 9 monthsand 30,000 miles later on
the Ultra I still put 20,000 miles on my Wing in those same 9
months.

As you can see I ride the Ultra more then the Wing, but I still
do ride the Wing!

You might want to keep the Wing if your riding alot like I do,
I rode 70,000+ miles in2006 and I'm not retired"

Good Luck with the new bike, I love mine and I've never owned
a Harley in 40+ years of ridingmotorcycles untill last fall.

Congratulations and welcome.

I know exactly what you mean., In '94 I bought a brand new GL and owned it (I forget now) but maybe 4 months and sold it. It just wasn't like riding a motorcycle.

Thank you all for your replies, picked it up today and got to put the 50 miles at 50 mph on it before I had to come to work.

I can't get the smile off my face!
