I love this bike. I've got about 7300 miles on it already. The fuel gauge stopped working last week. Other then that no problems.

Ride on.....

New off the show room floor! I bought it in Ohio when I was visiting family. Rode it over into PA to visit more family. Then rode her out to Southern Cali to go back to work! I ride her every day with frequent trips into the mountians or up into LA.

Where in Ohio and where in Southern Cali? I've lived in both. I lived in Youngstown and in San Diego. Glad I'm not in either to tell you the truth. That's awesome that you've been able to ride so much. I'm completely jealous.

Well you hit it right on. I bought it from Ron at Youngstown Harley and rode it to San Diego. Great trip! I'm riding as much as I can but its snowing in Southern California, if you can believe that. Its ridiculous.

Ride on.....

When I lived there the dealership in Youngstown didn't exist. There was one up in Warren that isn't there anymore that I ordered an 883 from a long time ago. I missed the phone call because I was in MOS school in VA for the Marines and they moved onto the next buyer. Snowing in SD really? Guess it could be worse...could have the marine layer in too.
