Nice to hear from everyone re our affairs with the Deuce. I have the cobalt blue and black and 14000 trouble free miles so far. I ride mine when Michigan weather permits and when I do ride I go where ever it takes me. I agree with everyone who can do the "baggers" for the longer hauls but all I got is the Deuce (added the Sundowner seat and it don't look bad). Longest ride is my pilgrimage to Sturgis (left from the inside of my garage) in Northville Michigan thru the Upper Peninsula and across then down to Sturgis. (two day ride). My return home was the "Super Slab" (Sturgis to La cross Wisconson where I spent the night) in one ride (about 700 miles) Then on to Milwaukee and Caught the ferry across Lake Michigan (avoided Chicago traffic) to Muskegon and home.
Love the bike and some day will add the bagger, but won't shed the Deuce
