Who really knows? But, thanks to this site; we have what I think may be as close to a factual historical record (Thanks Tim) as any out there. Before joining this site I couldn't tell you didley squat as to the history of the FXR and or the CVO program; now I am enlightened and better educated to the facts as best can be and can at least hold a descent conversation of the FXR and the CVO program without seeming totally ignorant of the facts...Thank you.....and what you just stated is what I have hoped that the "FXR HISTORY" would provide for us all.....I TOO have learned a lot from everyone, who has contributed and will hopefully continue to contribute.....the more accurate and interesting the "FXR HISTORY" becomes the greater the benefit to all of us in helping others to embrace what we ourselves are embracing, that as FXR owners we truly own one of the best bikes Harley Davidson has created.
For us guys here specifically with the FXR part of this forum, we have Mike (
REDFXR2) to thank for responding to anyone that would quietly enter our section of the Forum and address anyone's question.....as he knows there were some PRETTY LEAN DAYS/MONTHS/YEARS....lol....wondering if anyone would find this site....lol....and of course now....the book end of that discussion continues with HOWIE.....HOWIE will be our NATIONAL SPEAKER....lol which is awesome.....as I throw my hands over my eyes wondering what will happen to "JOY".....peeking through my fingers....just waiting.....
Hopefully this FORUM will serve all of us over the years as a wonderful place to gain insight into our bikes and further our passion for them....I am really excited to see so many joining in on the discussions whether they have an FXR2, FXR3, or FXR4 as the breath and scope of our topics become opportunities to learn about other's opinions and ideas.....
I look forward to always learning from you as well as others here....there is a wealth of knowledge just waiting to help each other.....and personally I believe that indeed knowing about the "HISTORY" of something provides a "lamp" to enjoy the future with.....
Everytime I go out to my garage....I see something that I enjoy riding, working on, and even cleaning, as well as teasing one another about which APE HANGERS one [Howie
]is going to choose to ride with, amongst other topics as well.
Regards,
Tim
