Default Another Texan
Greetings from another Texan. After putting 75k on a GL1500 Gold Wing I went to the "Dark Side" as my friends say and got on a 2001 Ultra Classic a few years back. It's now got 55K on it and going strong. So much for all my Wing riding friends' comments about how it will give me nothing but problems. Not to say that I haven't had a problem or two (timeing sensor left us stranded in Brice Canyon last year while we were on a 6500 mile romp, and two weeks ago I broke a drive belt), but the engine is as strong as ever.

Figured it was time I checked in to see what the rest of the Harley riding world is up to.
