Default Back in the saddle again!

After 11 months I am back on the road again. I just picked up a 2000 FLHTCUI with just under 28k miles on it for $8500. The previous owner is moving to AZ and is unloading everything he has. So it was priced to move and I got to it first It has been nice to ride again. It has been almost like I never got off. I have been a careful just the same but damn was it great riding today!

Thanks it has been a great ride. It has one quirk that I'm not sure what the deal is with it. The Cruise Control works sporadically. I don't know if it's the switch or something else. It is a mystery at this point. If anyone has any ideas please share. Thanks

Good for you and it sounds like you got a good deal on the price.

I forgot to say that it is 11 months after my accident in which my 98 was totaled. This 2000 has been a sweet ride thus far but it sure does need more chrome on it so I can my ride

Congrats in the new ride I just got back to riding after four months recovery from totalling my limited . Still have a brace for the leg but, like you, I am sure glad to be back riding.
