I've been riding since '68 and started with a Harley M50. I've rode most everything since and decided my last bike would be a Harley. Kind of bookends. I found my '10 FLHTCU at Loess Hills HD in Iowa in May. It had 2,074 miles on it.
Today I'm patiently waiting for it to get out of the shop. Stage II Kit, 555 cam, VH Monster Slipons, Jackpot headers, Racing Tuner and dyno tune, Heated hand grips, Led headlights and a little Safety Chrome. Waiting
It's getting cold here in Iowa and more and more night riding. I ride as long as the snow isn't around and it isn't ridiculously cold.

Hello Pastor Ed and welcome to the contributor's side of the forum.

Your new ride sounds beefed up quite a bit. Had you rode it with out the upgrades?

Good luck and welcome!

Yeah, I picked it up in May and I've put a few thousand miles on it. It's a bit underpowered with just me riding it and next spring my wife will be on the back. She had a knee replaced last month and isn't ready yet. She's a real trooper, we've put a lot a miles on together since 1968. Anyway, it was time to add some power before she's ready to join me.
The bike should be ready tomorrow. I hope
