Milestone today, literally.
The 2006 CVO Ultra clocked 100,000 miles. Fittingly it happened on CA-1, The Pacific Coast Highway. No better place for this rider who calls California home. I was northbound just outside of Santa Cruz when the odometer rolled over at 2:31pm. I snapped a couple of pics and rode on.
I need to acknowledge a few people here. First and foremost "WrongWay" Dave King who sold it to me in immaculate condition with 52K on it. Actually I need to start by thanking the "Bovine Gigolo" Don Davis for selling Dave the '05 Teal SEEG so I could buy this '06. Next I need to acknowledge "HD-Dude" Jim Schloffel at Metal Dragon. Jim's excellent hands keeps it running in tip top shape in spite of what I do to it. I specifically bought the '06 because I wanted the CVO 103 motor. After hearing and seeing first hand all the 110s issues, I looked no further than this one. When I bought this bike my goal was to go between 80-100K miles before doing any engine work. I made it to 83K. I told Jim I plan to keep and ride the bike and dependability was number one. With his rebuild I expect to go at least another 80K. The bike shows it age and wear well. Some of the chrome is pitting, and there are a few nicks and scuffs on the paint. But all in all that's not really much I can complain about.
Special thanks to Alan Paz, John Shimada, and James Clegg who logged a lot of the same miles side by side with me. Their brotherhood means a lot to me.
Oh,...the last time I asked how many members have a CVO with 100k on the clock, a lot of you replied with your aggregate total,...LOL!!
So I will ask again: How many here have 100K on their CVO? And I'm talking 100k on ONE bike.
