But my favorite, and the one that I am going to blow up to 4'x6' for the man-cave.....

My 09 blue

  Glad you stopped by Jamal, this thread
has not had a contribution for so long it has grown a beard.

My first siting of the Blue 09 STSSE3 was in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on
my way to the Harley Factory in York (open house) where these bikes are
built. It was parked on the right side of Rt 30 in the middle of town. That
vision was a statement in itself.  There is never a reason to be envious
while riding my bike, but the image of one like yours never left my mind.

You will see three (3) SE Springer's in this pic.  Later when he (Blue 09)
pulled in behind me, he found out who has "The Tag" (STSSE). In Penna.
you can only choose 5 characters for the Plate.  

In the background (click on pic to enlarge) an old biker is chasing a sportbiker
(black helmet, shorts) for stealing something.  I understand that there was a
time when stealing something in your country would create a difficulty for the
thief's next ride.

First attempt at uploading a pic. Hope it works.

With my wife riding around Coeur D' Alene lake ID.

We had a lady I went to Kindergarten through high school with take some pics of my wife and I while we were riding. The black & white one, she took from about 300 yards down the road.

This one is Billi Jo and I (my wife) riding along next to the lake.

Those are all pretty cool.  I like the first one the best.

  Welcome to the Site IWannaChop.

We can always tell who is an owner and a wannabe, based on their
contributions to the Cult.

We in return sometimes return the favor in our responses. Did you get that ? LOL

Your first photo is a old Victorian photo process called 'Sepia' and is a Great shot,
that could have been from that era other than your bike giving it away.

To get the most out of your bike, I recommend replacing that front tire.  I am on
my 6th set, as I replace both at the same time (less down time). I buy mine thru
the Motorcycle Superstore from the 3rd set on. Free shipping and the prices are
the best.  I have gone thru the H-D 407's rear tire and unsatisifed with their ride
(too hard) and longevity (to short) the D-402's rode better, but didn't last either.  
Found the Dunlop American Elite series :

(http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/3/31/401/30353/ITEM/Dunlop-American-Elite-Harley-Davidson-Replacement-Rear-Tire.aspx?WT.ac=Cruiser_Tires_-_Slider_3_03.08.13_DunlopAmericanEliteTiresrear)

tire, thru the owners remarks there as the best.  And I agree 110%. Better ride
more groves for traction and longer wear. The H-D 407's thru the dealer are @
$240 + inst.

If that rr tire is your second, it's catching up with the front.  Be careful of those
high points on the outside of center on the tread.  They will create an unforgiving
situation, especially under heavy braking during a turn, usually a left turn.  Due to
the fact that we all corner harder left because the pipes are on the right.

If you're under 10,000 miles, be aware that the torque to the rear wheel does not
deliver until you break in the engine, usually after the 10,000.  In my case it took
all of 30,000 because of the way I broke mine in.  

In the beginning 6th gear was useless at 60 mph (@ 3000 rpms).  Today I can climb
a mountain pass at @ 2200 rpm's in 6th without lugging the engine, 93 octane.
Your benefit will be less shifting in those mountainous area's.

Say Hi to my brother who moved from Sand Point to Cour d'Alene to Priest River a
few years ago.  He'd rather boat than bike, so maybe a highsign would be proper !
LOL again.


Good luck with that,
Jack
