Howdy folks,
Went for another ride today, much smoother. I should know better than to trust the HD shop when they release a bike as ready to go. My rear tires were 12 pounds over (both of them) and my air suspension adjustment was, ready for this, "10 pounds". I brought the air ride up to 45#s and tires to 26 as the owners manual states. And wow what a difference.
I put on a few things, yup, chrome mostly, one add on was a pair of Kury longhorn hi way peg supports I had kicking around Here and there and, the pair of rear pegs that came new with my '97 Heritage Springer. So, for the coolest part is when I have my legs stretched out, I sorta kinda and riding my HS even though I'm on my trike. I also have a pair of original Grampaw Springer seat springs to hang off somewhere yet to be determined.
I got my Veterans plate today (BLK1) and mounted it with the usual chrome trim and chrome bullets. Finally got my shift lever where it should be and to top it off, my mustang rider backrest is in and I'll pick that up tomorrow.
My appointment for the 1k service got bumped to next Monday. that's cutting close for my planned ride to DC for Rolling Thunder, but, the service head said he would have it ready for me. I do have a pup tent! Suppose to be real nice weather right through so Sue and I should enjoy so sunny miles until I drop the trike off.
Well, I guess I bragged long enough. I hope this message finds all of you well and enjoying life.
Till next time

Chappy enjoy Rolling Thunder in DC.  I went a couple of years ago and it was one of the best trips I ever made.  . Ride safe and return with many stories and pictures.

I still have my '98 Heritage Springer...you kinda have to have owned one to know that feeling.

[chappy]

You are right, my Heritage Springer was my all time favorite bike of all. Funny thing, I don't even remember some of the bikes that I have owned.
But, anyway, those pegs are much enjoyed as a keepsake from my HS.

Hi Mike,
Me and Delta are leaving on Thursday, I'm blessed to have a friend like Delta, he's aware of my situation and I know he'll be looking out for me. We have ridden more thousands of miles of roads all over, and I think we're both addicted to getting lost with the GPS set on shortest route. I could go on for hours with stories of where we ended up and how and over what types of roads, including apple orchards and washed out roads that even the locals don't use. A funny getting lost with GPS had us come out of the thick woods on a tote road for farm equipment and entered a farm yard that had a tractor out front of the barn that was for sale. And the farmer appeared to be in the process of actually selling to someone when we popped out of the woods on two Ultras. We rode on by at a very respectful speed and waved. Looked to me that the farmer that knew the road just couldn't believe that we road out where we did. He waved and I must say, his jaw was hanging a bit too.
But, anyway, the plan is to leave on Thursday and get home Monday. That's yet to be lived, and me and Delta are pretty much ready for anything on the road. This is where one of those big yellow smiley faces, extra big size that is. lol lol
Went for a great ride today on the Mohawk Trail (rte 2 west) in Mass. The road repair from the flood is just about done and we had the joy of fresh pavement, so fresh that most hadn't yet had the lines painted. Sue and I are pretty tired and I'm about ready to snore.
I drop the trike off tomorrow for the 1k service, whoops, I went a little over. lol
Take care
Sam
