Title: # 1009 in Alaska
Post by: brhulen on May 13, 2008, 12:50:17 PM

Well I finally got mine!  Rode it home from Fairbanks to Delta Junction and what a beautiful day made better of course by what I was riding!  No pictures yet, but when we take it down through the Alaska Range I'll take the obligatory shot or two.  Now, a couple of things.  I've been a a Panhead and then Heritage rider for years so transitioning to the SE3 is going to take some getting used to.  I still feel as though I'm sitting more forward, higher and have less a sense of control than what I did with the Heritage.  That'll change in time.  I've read some posts about the windshield and buffeting and I'm suffering from the same thing.  I'm going to opt for a higher windshield at first opportunity.  The heated handgrips aren't near hot enough in my humble opinion.  The bike acts as though it's a little cold blooded when starting off from a light.  I'll ride for awhile and take back to the dealer if this doesn't get any better.  Other than that it's everything I hoped for.  It's a beautiful ride and the only one in town.  There are perhaps 6 or 8 in the entire state!  As a side note, I bought this bike from Sound Harley-Davidson in Marysville, WA.  I ordered the bike in November of last year and it arrived in Fairbanks the end of April.  I can't begin to say enough about these guys and gals.  This was probably the absolute best retail experience I have ever had.  They treated us like you want to be treated and I would unhesitatingly recommend them to anyone looking for a new bike.  Regards to all and I already posted to the new member site sometime ago.

The hesitation you speak of is probably the first gear being to high a ratio I had to get use to that
