Well, I had planned since 2004 to get a new bike in '08 ... but the numbers just aren't there.

I still owe about 2K on this bike and if I got a new one, I'de have to put about 2K into it to get it where this one is (exhaust, power commander, camera wiring harness, different mounts for the cams cause the bolts are different than my current bike, etc) ... which would be just fine if my current bike wasn't still reliable ... but it is ... and I have so many spare parts for it, I could almost make another one (just need an engine frame, and forks).

I need to break this one, first.  LOL.

Which will likely happen sometime this year.  It's about time for my bi-annual wipe out (d'oh) and I'm going to be trying to get bumped up from the "Intermediate" to the "Expert" group this year ... so, I'll be pushing hard ... it's bound to happen.

Next year a new bike for sure, tho.

See.......that's exactly what I'm talking about......you can still 'tuck & roll'.  Ride safe bro and we'll all be pulling for ya to make Expert Class this year.  har!  spyder

I concur with the race bike and arthritic/titanium part sentiment.  I helped my son get his Honda Interceptor around a really sharp curve up a steep hill (he was new to driving and kept stalling it).  I rode it about 1000 feet or so until the hill leveled off.  I felt sorry for him having to hike up the hill in his riding boots,  but worse for me when I had trouble getting my leg over the bike to get off of it! My bike felt like a La-Z-Boy recliner afterwards.

OR, just buy and ride a Road Glide like your 'buddies', and you won't have ANY aero problems, either!  (you ole 'road-dog')  har!  spyder

I think OTIS has retired the "Tour Glide', and has succumbed to a SE V-Rod.  Can't wait to see his a$$ dragin' after a 350 mile ride on that! Later--HUBBARD

Retired my butt! After outrunning you so many times he might as well retire it.
He only has the Vrod because he's bored.
Get Maude out of hibernation and race that Vrod, unless your skeered!
Respond all you like but unless you twist the throttle against the Vrod we can only assume you are skeered.
I'm not, I have seen the a$$ end of Randy's bikes before! Nothin new to me!
Tour Glide my a$$!

I've already busted a V-Rod's a$$, Einstien, and busted everything else that said Harley-Davidson on it, many, many times.  How short some of ya'lls memories are.  Hope that's not an indication of anything else of yours.    Later--HUBBARD
