Glad to hear your wife is doing well and is in one piece. The bike can always be replaced.

3K on my King and so far smooth sailing.
Dave, sorry to read about your wife. It's great she kept her head and responded well. A lot of us empathize with how quickly things happen, and sometimes survival depends upon motor skill memory. Glad to see she was a instructor - I believe that really paid off!
Several times a year we should ALL find a parking lot and spend a few hours refreshing our skill sets.

Past 10K now. No problems at all. Oh wait! It gets real dirty through the winter and the oil cooler took some dings. Raked them back into shape with a radiator comb from HF. Then got the new metal cover with the mesh wire to protect the cooler some.

Freaking Jealous of you guys.
365 Miles on my Road King S that I purchased March 3rd...
However been a lot of rain in FL Panhandle lately.. and this was purchased mainly for a weekend cruiser.. However I'm about to start riding it to my office a couple days a week as well.
unfortunately I only live 4 boring miles from my office.. and about 6 miles from my Gym ... everything is too close.
Think IM gonna load her up next month and take her to GA to go ride is some more fun areas
I have been dying to get out for a weekend and ride a tank empty.. fill up and do it again that oughta make for a nice 500 mile weekend.
No issues whatsoever.. Have started to notice a slightly deeper tone in my Rinehart slip ons though

You're jealous?? I'm jealous! I've been working on my winter projects for months. Got her in December and only been out a few times since. Put about 500 miles of riding that month before snow arrived.
Two weeks ago it was 70* so I added another 200 and then baaamm, 12-14 inches of snow. Now it's raining every day but at least the snow is disappearing. This Sunday should be 58* and sunny. Time to take her out and show off the mods. Will post pics and details about them later this weekend. So, to answer the question, no issues so far, but what do I know.. I have less than 1000 miles on her. Hopefully I didn't mess anything up while working on her.
