Great job on putting this site together!  I've 'lurked' around and found this to be a great source of information.

I'm a long time rider, first time CVO owner.  I can't believe I own a bike with a dashboard!

I'm Charles, and I'm currently deployed to Iraq.  I'm a contractor supporting the US Marines at Al Asad, Iraq--in the heart of the Anbar Province.  I've been here since December 2005, and hope to leave sometime early March 2007.

I heard of the new and improved HD models back in July. After much research, I knew one of the Ultras were being built for me.  I had to work through my daughter in the states to make the deal for me, but after working through several unique obstacles, I can now say I am an owner of an 2007 FLHTCUSE2, 'smurf-colored'. According to an official HD Brake Certification (required for Japan registration), my bike has a manufacture date of September 11, 2006-neat...

One thing I'm not too happy about is the horsepower reported on this certificate.  This certificate, from a Market Compliance and Vehicle Identification Specialist at HD Customer Service, reports the horsepower rating as 87hp@4000rpm.  I'm a bigger fan of torque, but still disappointed in this reported hp.

I normally live/work in Okinawa, Japan, supporting the USMC IIIMEF. When I leave here, I'll have to go through the states and make arrangements to ship my bike to Okinawa.

Thanks for all the info posted on this site.

Charles welcome onboard to this fantastic site and hopefully you comeback to Japan soon and then enjoy your new scooter..... [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif], Meanwhile have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

PS I don't know if Okinawa is close to Fukoshima...I met the HOG director of that chapter and rode with him the Posse Rallys 2004 & 2005

You have someone stationed at Camp Lejeune? I spent some time there with 2/2 '77 - '78.

Well, I have to go back through LeJeune to turn all my gear back in, and complete other processing.  I'm a contractor, working for General Dynamics, supporting Military Intel systems. We have an office on Camp LeJeune, with about 20 techs working from there.

So, I know folks, civilians as well as Marines, at LeJeune, but none who were there during that great era.

I'm former Navy, and spent most of my active duty time at a Communications site in Okinawa--NSGA Hanza.

What did you do for the Marines?

I was a Radio Operator, and was with 7th Comm. Batt. when I was on the rock.

Awesome.  I helped support 7TH COMM during a 2005 UFL exercise in Korea.  There are a couple systems we support for those guys.  I normally work out of Camp Hansen, with the Intel BN.  I've worked on Camps Courtney, Foster, Kinser and Schwab.  We deploy (obviously) when they do.  I usually get to Korea at least once a year.  I've been with these guys to Thailand a couple times--man I miss those days.

Hey Charles, welcome aboard.  You'll find this site a great source of information and ideas on how to spend those hard earned $$$$$$.  Good luck and can't wait to see photos of your new smurf.
