Default CAN'T BELIEVE WE DID THIS!


Wife and I rode out to Lancaster Harley last Sunday for our free calendar, and have breakfast at Crazy Otto's. 2 hours later we are the proud owners of an '08 Softail Deluxe, and an '08 E-Glide Standard. We loved our Nightrain and WideGlide, but were in the market for something more tuned for touring. Merry Christmas from us to us. I'm old and retired, the houses are paid for, the old bikes are paid for and will probably go to live in our Bullhead City, Az. home.

Now all I have to do is get used to windshields, fairings, floor boards......






Just dropped them off at the dealer for the exhaust, intake, remap, essentials kit for her bike.

Congratulations!

BTW – service at Lanscatter sucks big time. Ask me how I know. I will NEVER give them my business again. I can’t wait until Van Nuys HD completes their new facility in Castaic. They will be getting my business.

I know. They gave me a break on the parts and labor this time. Parts were cheaper, labor was more, but net result was we saved a couple of bucks. Will probably take them to Canoga Park for service, they have really done a great job on the other bikes.
