Congrats on leaving the metrics.
You won't be sorry.
Sad way to get it though.

I dunno, I got rid of my first one. As a recent convert (4 months) I picked up an '06 EG standard, kept it exactly 3 months and traded for an '03 Ultra anniversary (red). Now This One is gonna be a keeper!

A huge congrats to you! So sorry to hear of the previous owner's situation... Teaches us all to not take life for granted.

The EGC is a FANTASTIC bike, you'll really enjoy it!

Good looking bike with a unique color combo. By the way, I would think that's the original rubber. 5 year old tires with a lot of sitting around and low mileage could spell trouble. Check them closely and seek professional advice.

Enjoy the ride.
