well went from jersey to utah hitting national parks along the way...in 6000 miles I lost my starter in Colorado(pop started her till I got home)...leaky rocker boxes....& a 3rd front motor mount in 30,000 miles...extended took care of all the issues but curious if anyone else had these issues with their  eagle glides,headpan

(pop started her till I got home)

That took a lot of careful parking choices.  Just glad you got her home ok.

Maybe we'll find out after the CC run, since many of us will be logging major miles as well, through similar country as you did on your trip.  Oh and before d00d gets here love to see some pics of the trip..... [smiley=worthless.gif]

HeadPan....I know you (and  your wife) wished you'd been on the chopper....much lighter to 'push' for ea. bump-start.  And that dresser is harder to jump on side-saddle with the back rest in place, huh?  Glad you've kept the wife 'in shape' to help push.....maybe someday you'll be able to share the entire story including how you convienced her to push.  That'll be a good one for the next 'gathering'.  [smiley=drink.gif] har!  spyder

yeah spyder , good pickup...it was alittle tricky hopping on the glide sidesaddle...but i figured if I went to a dealership out in the west i would had been down a few days....and the old lady only had 2 weeks so it was either push or come home a few days late....so be it ....it really was not that bad,,exept for when I got pulled over on the skyukill expresway in pouring rain for running up the side of the road....the cop was cool but it was tricky gettn her started....the cop actually blocked traffic so i could get a good push.that was a trip...many more stories to come.....ride on,headpan
