Mine was a 1991 1200 sporty.  A buddy was behind on the payments, paid it off. Put 75k miles on it, 2 trips to Sturgis w/ girlfriend, sold it for a $5,500 profit to go towards 95 Fatboy!  Miss both those old tough / beautiful girls!

was a 1967 flh 1st year for the "h" if I remember right the h stood for high performance and it refered to the cam. sold it around 90-91 maybe 92 when A-hole Pete Wilson put Californias helmet law thru.

2010 Heritage I bought in 2009. Served me well for five years. Looked as good the day I traded it on my current bike, a CVO Road King, as it did the day I bought it. There was nothing wrong with it, but the only way I was getting the King was to trade the Heritage.

2001 cvo switchblade, still in the garage. Prior to H-D's it was two stroke Suzuki street bikes. 550 air cooled and 750 water cooled. Those things were pretty cool look them up.

Well, technically my first HD I owned for about 5 minutes and actually took delivery of my second before I even picked up my first.  :coolblue:

I had the second VRod in the state reserved in my name when it came out in 2002. Went to the dealer to see the first one delivered since I had never seen one live. I thought it was cool but as soon as I saw the Road King Classic in pearl white they were uncrating knew I had bought the wrong bike. My VRod was still a few weeks away and I was about to go back in to the sales guys office and tell him to unwind the deal but my buddy said I should run an ad and see if I could flip it since the demand for them was so high. (Not so much now)

So I did and had several people offer me several grand over MSRP for my place. Hah, go figure. Ended up selling it to a dealer in Daytona who wanted it.

In the meantime I bought the RK, and loved it till 05. I hit a 6' micro lam in the middle of the hiway doing 70mph. Bike flipped 3 times and was totaled otherwise I likely would still own it.

1948 Panhead 48FLxxx13 .. ..
Yep ... I bought her in late 1983 a few months before my 1st child was born ... So I introduce her as Pre-Kids .. LOL   
She has gone through several morphs over the years.. This is the latest and I think the best..  a small list of specs:
Original 1948, cases, jugs, heads and frame.
B grind cam, 80 Flywheels, jugs bored 30 over so right about 83 inches
Transmission ratchet top circa 1955 as best as we can tell, All Andrews gears, reversed shift pattern, one up, three down .. Nobody can get on her and just ride ... LOL
Had to change all lighting to LED's dash, and taillight (Except headlight ,. so far it will last a season) as the vibration keeps destroying bulb filaments

She'll take most 88's in the 8th ... She's a screamer ... and my first love ...

Took delivery of my first HD in January 1997.
FLHTCUI (Ultra Classic Electra Glide) Platinum Silver & Victory Red Sunglo

All stock except for stage 1 cam and genuine slip on's to give the beast some get up and go.
26000 klms and still in new condition.
Bike has been retired for 7 years and proudly sits in her own room.
Cannot find the heart to sell her, to many memories and just keeps catching my eye ever time I walk past her.

Yep, still have my first one - 883 Sportster Hugger March 2001 - just can't bring myself to sell it.

My first Ultra was the exact same colour as yours - an FLHTCU though, not an FLHTCUI as it was not injected.

Yes.   20 year old Cruiser vs the new Touring bike.   I have no desire to sell it and as long as it gets rides around town or short jaunts why would I?    $25 a month for full coverage plus accessories is fine with me.

You betcha, I still have my first Harley - A 1991 Heritage Softail Classic.

Although I did give it a set of new tins with a custom paint job in 1993.

Yep.  1991 Fatboy... Got rid of the first wife and got this as her replacement. Better to ride and I'm happier to spend money on her!   ;)
