This is the harley(04 RKC) I had before the SE Ultra.  Loved it, but wanted to
step up to the Ultra.

See you've been a Rinehart fan for awhile. :2vrolijk_21:

I first started with many 4-wheelers and dirt bikes when I was a kid then:

1998: Ducati 900SS
2001: Dyna Wide Glide
Now: 2006 CVO Ultra Classic

I got married and now the wife loves to ride so I had to switch to a more comfortable ride.

Had a Honda CB600 and learned to ride on that bike, stepped up to a HD after riding my friends VROD.  Then rode a Road King and the rest is history.   :mango:

i have only owned two bikes (92 FXR and my 06 CUSE).  Prior to the FXR, i rode my buddies Nighthawk all the time. 
When i decided to buy my own bike in the early 90s, i was going to get a Nighthawk.  I walked by the Harley dealership and decided to look around.  The sales guy convinced me to test ride the FXR.  i drove it for 10 minutes, came back with a huge smile on my face and bought it ($12,800).

in the 80's:
Kawasaki 440 LTD (3k)
Honda V65 Magna (12k)
SuperGlide (18k)

in the 90's:
FXR (26k)
Softail Custom (3k)
Dyna WideGlide (18k)

in the 00's:
Dyna WideGlide (8k)
Ultra-Classic (60k)

and now waiting for tommorrow...
Screamin Eagle Ultra-Classic (0k, so far...)

I see a trend of increasing mi = bigger bike.

Ya gotta love that V65 Magna.  I had a black 85 V65 Magna that I purchased new in 85 and finally sold two summers ago.  I installed a Vetter Rooster radio fairing on it.  One hell of a bike.  If memory serves me correctly, it was 125 h.p. stock out of the box at about 400 lbs.  Water cooled 4 cylinder, six speed, shaft drive rocket cruiser.  One fast bike...

Yea, I loved that V65.
It went out to pasture after a 10k rpm shift into 3rd went bad :(

I'd buy another just for fun!

Great thread!

78 Honda CB750K with Vetter Windjammer faring, bought with HS grad money in 83
82 Honda Goldwing GL1100 Interstate, (traded CB750 for in 85)

Sold Goldwing in 89 to buy my Wife's rings, she wouldn't ride it

Rented Harleys while on vacation with my Brothers and was absolely HOOKED!

Picked up Cherry SEUC2 in Jan.  Wife finally rode last weekend and reluctantly admitted to enjoying it (after 18 years with no bike!)  :cherry:
