Default 4 years ago today....

4 Years ago today I brought my FLHX home from the dealer. Now after many miles and many accessories later, I still wouldn't trade her in on another bike.

Even when it's 115 degrees out, I'd still prefer to take the bike to work over the air conditioned comfort of my new Jeep. Here's to many more years together.

The day I brought her home:

LOL I get that a lot about the front reflectors. Even when sitting down in the garage with a beer looking at the bike, I never notice them.

I'm in Vegas so we average about 5 - 10 degrees cooler than PHX. I do travel to PHX every so often on business and always take the bike. Either way, it doesn't bother me anymore. I did just get done with installing the Fan Assisted Jagg Oil Cooler.. time well tell if it helps.
