Welcome from Sydney Australia

[RickM]

Hi all.  This is a stock photo, but it's pretty much exactly on target.  It'll have to do for now until I get a better one taken.  So, strangely enough I've done something I've never done before because this seems to be what the Harley family does.  I've named my motorcycle for the first time!  Therefore, I'd like to introduce everyone to Zeus, my thundering friend.

I owned the same bike for a couple of years, last CVO limited made by Harley. Hope they bring it back. As far as heavyweight motorcycles, I think you found the winner at almost 950 lb. In comparison, a gold wing is almost 100 lb lighter, lol.

G'Day Rick,
That is a well put together introduction on a first time experience, welcome and ride safe

So, what metric bike makes a CVO seem "small" in comparison?

[kojak]

As far as I can tell, there is only one metric bike that clocks the same kind of weight as the cvo touring bikes. BMW R18 transcontinental.

Hey Rick, Dave here also from California. What area are you in? I’m in Central / northern Cal.  Farm country between Tracy, Manteca, Modesto, and Patterson.  If you’re in the area, give a holler.

Hey Greg,

The only real contenders that I've ridden myself are the Suzuki VL1500 (Intruder) and the Suzuki VLR1800 (Boulevard).  I think the Intruder is closer to the physical size of the Ultra, however, the Boulevard's wheel base is a few inches longer, rear tire is massive, and gas tank gives the impression that you're climbing aboard an aircraft.  The Boulevard is a bit more girthy when you sit on it too.  All that said, I'm extremely happy with Zeus.  This Harley-Davidson is a true land cruiser in every sense of the concept.

Hey Dave,

I'm clear across the country in sunny South Florida.  If I'm ever in your neck of the woods, I'll be sure to look you up.

Hi Kokak,

Very nice pic.  Thanks for sharing.  I didn't know 2021 was the last Limited Harley made.  All I can say is that I see myself owning this bike for very, very long time.  That is quite a roster of CVO's you've owned, and 20 other bikes over the years...I can't even imagine.

My bad Rick. I thought I saw earlier in the thread you were from California. 

[kojak]

Well, I started riding as a teenager and never stopped. At close to 67, Ive been around the block a few times, lol.
