I wish I had dealt with the licensing issues earlier, but I didn't. Now I have to figure out a way to start the poor neglected thing so I can get it to the dealership and take delivery of that spiffy new Superlow.

I put 4000 miles on the Dyna last year, including two weekend rides from Kirkland, WA to Fallon, NV and back.

We drained the gas from the Nightster, replaced it with fresh 91-octane, and then installed the new battery. I turned the motor over and it fired up almost immediately.

Cool. I'd run some Seafoam through it ... can't hurt.

We changed the engine oil, filter and primary oil today. I took the bike out and all was well: the ride is smoother than I remember, and now I'm wishing I hadn't traded it in.

The longer it takes to find a buyer for mine the more I want to keep it. Might have to find the money I was needing from her somewhere else.
