Don't think you'll get much trade-in value on a 33 y.o. FLWIFE. How many miles does it have?

Forgot to ask, are you the original owner of the FLWIFE and do you have all the service records? (I assume its been serviced regularly).

He's married. FLWIFEs don't need serviced. At least not by the original owner. That's why there a so many used FLWIFEs out there that are on their 2nd, 3rd, 4th,....... owner!

I'm kinda leaning toward keeping the ol' lady. As I said we're having more fun than ever.
And she will go with me any time,anywhere,night or day,she's ready to ride. I don't think
I got another 33 years to break in another ol' lady. Besides I think she was only kidding.
HA! After this many years I doubt I could run her off. Plus she's a Tennessee girl & knows
how to shoot , if you know what I mean.

You think a SE Ultra is expensive? Just try a divorce.

I think this is appropriate for the subject. There is no replacement for a good lady and especially one who sticks with you for the long haul.

Subject: Harley Davidson Meets God

The inventor of the Harley Davidson Motorcycle Corporation, Arthur Davidson, died and went to heaven. At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur, "Since you've been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is you can hang out with anyone you want in Heaven."


Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, "I want to hang out with God." St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God.


Arthur then asked God, "Hey, aren't you the inventor of woman?"


God said, "Ah, yes."


"Well," said Arthur, "professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention:

1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end protrusion.
2. It chatters constantly at high speeds.
3. Most of the rear ends are too soft and wobble too much.
4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust.
5. And the maintenance costs are outrageous."


"Hmmmm, you may have some good points there," replied God, "hold on." God went to his Celestial super computer, typed in a few words and waited for the results. The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.

"Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed," God said to Arthur, "but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours."
