Nope. First was a K-model that I sold when I entered the military in '65. Do still have the one I got when I came home from Vietnam tho. Bought it in October of '70
In the process of a complete restoration.
No, my first was a 1976 Sporty I bought in '78. It stayed broke more than it did running so I was more than glad to get rid of it. I then rode a Triumph that was sometimes cantankerous to kick start but never broke down. In '86 I went back to Harley and got my FXR. I still have it although it has gone through some changes. I will always have that one.
Yes, it's been in my possession for 38 yrs and it's been one family owned since being purchased new though the H-D Juneau Ave factory front office in Nov 1955.
I bought a brand new FXR in 1992 and by 2014 I had 130,000 miles on it when I bought my present FLD. I kept the FXR for four more years but it mostly just sat in the garage. I would start it up each week and ride it around the neighborhood to keep everything working. Then in 2018 I sold it to another FXR enthusiast. He came to look at the bike on his 1986 FXRS, so I knew it went to a good home.
