I like long distance touring but short trips are fun too. Do most of my own maintenance and am looking forward to learning everything I can about maintaining this 2004 deuce. Yesterday I had no idea I was going to buy another motorcycle but just ran across this one and decided I had to have it. No regrets....

Motorcycling for over 46 years here. I've had a variety of motorcycles. My current stable are all Harleys. Each has a different mission, from keeping the wife happy, to keeping me happy on short and long rides.

My Deuce is tricked out and powered up. I ride it to work (16 miles round trip) and on short hops. If I am riding two-up, or a typical 150 mile morning ride on the weekend, I'll take the Road Glide.

Before the Road Glide, I would take the Deuce on these rides, sometimes two-up. 2,500 rides and commutes to work. The Deuce always attracts praise, lust, and envy. Now with the Road Glide taking over on long or two-up rides, my Deuce has been modified to a Corbin solo with bare rear fender. I like that look.

The Deuce and the Road Glide are my two favorite motorcycles among them all. Wife loves her '98 Dyna and wants no other.
