good deal...
I have a proposition for you. If you could get free parts and free labor to do mods to your bike would you be interested in coming to Houston for it to be done?
If you could put a list together on things you would like to be done to it.. what would that list be?
Let's just say I have a contact that writes articles for a biker magazine and we (I say we as I usually get stuck doing the labor part) can submit the list to his editor for review. If he believes an article can be good they will acquire the parts and we will do the article.
The biggest problem is that most of my friends have baggers. They want to do articles on something different.
My bike has been in articles several times and my hands have been in many times. Lets say though I will never become a hand model....
Think about it and PM me if your interested.
I just got a 2006 Harley XL1200C Sportster last week. I wanted the Sportster because I rode the big Gold Wing for years and just wanted a smaller ride. My last ride was a Kawasaki 1000cc Concourse......a very fast bike!
I paid a lot more for mine as it only had 100 miles on it. I met the owner (it was on consignment at a shop) and he said he knew he made a mistake after riding it 3 miles so he just parked it. He was a very tall but skinny man without much muscle. The weight of the bike scared him.
You'll love the ride! It has lots of power and the rubber mounted 1200 EVO engine keeps vibration under control. And of course.....it's a Harley.
Set your trip odometer. Mine needs fuel after about 140 miles and the reserve is good for 30 miles. Mine isn't broken in yet, so that will improve.
Because I have 45+ years in the saddle and a clean record, I got full coverage from Progressive at $227/year.
Have fun!

Sounds like a good deal to me. I just picked up a sport bike that I'm trying to learn how to ride. Unfortunately, my purchase was made at a bad time given the seasons changing and riding season being over. I fear it will have to sit in the garage until warmer weather comes along.
if its paid for and you dont need full coverage, I got liability only through Dairyland for $35 a year per bike.Thanks a lot for that info and I'm very jealous of your insurance rate!
I'd love to have your voice of experience. Trying to convince my wife that motorcycles are safer than her irrational fears. How did you keep safe all these years?
