Got here as quick as I could!!
« on: August 29, 2016, 04:46:55 PM »

Well, I didn't really intend to make a change this year, but ran across a 2015 CVO Road Glide Ultra in need of rescue.

Her name is Dusty. Only a year old, she’s not like the ones before. She is more confident. More capable. More determined. She comes from a family that - in my humble opinion - neglected her. Don’t get me wrong, they kept her clean and cared for her basic needs, but never really showed her what the world has to offer or allowed her to stretch those long, beautiful legs. I am going to change that. Not for me, but for Dusty. She deserves more out of this precious life. Dusty is my retirement present to myself since no one else would buy her for me, though she has been approved by the wife! We currently live in East Texas but are trying to work our way to North Carolina or Tennessee so that we can enjoy the mountain roads a little more often.

My former mistress (2014 Ultra Limited) is not happy at all with this surprise turn of events...seems she and Dusty are already fighting (for space in the garage). So I guess I need to find her a new home soon.

Here is a pic of Dusty fresh out of the shower.

I know most of you are good people and have made similar sacrifices. Let's keep making the world a better place.

Congrats on getting your (new to you) CVO RGU. I see you've been a member since '11... took you awhile to get your feet wet (so to speak), huh? :D :D

Congratulations on your new CVO Road Glide Ultra! It's good to have you come out and join in on the fun. If you move to the NC / TN area you can join in on the Maggie Valley GTG experience.

Thanks for the warm welcome. The knowledge gained while lurking this site has already paid for the price of admission, (e.g., went with a sexy Freedom Shield for Dusty based on your collective experiences). I hope to share some of my experiences along the way as well.

We'll be vacationing in Western NC the first two weeks of October, trying to catch a peek of the fall colors. Staying in Hendersonville and will be doing daily excursions in all directions. I've toyed with trying to make it a month-long vacation so that I could attend the Maggie Valley GTG, but have too many conflicts to pull it off. Next year.

Safe travels to all of you and am sure you will have a blast. Don't eat too many pancakes at Joey's Pancake House!
