Yeah, 'er 'uh, tony1968,
  Interesting topic!  I can honestly say, every Harley I've owned, with the exception of a '76 Super Glide, performed well and lived relativiely long lives, considering the abuse they received.  95% of my repairs have been a direct result of runnin' 'em WFO!
(1) 1967 XLH  900  (Dad took away and sold)
(2) 1970 XLCH  900 (Sold)
(3) 1972 XLCH  1000  (Sold)
(4) 1945 Serv-a-car  (Traded for dope)
(5) 1956 FLH (Traded for dope)
(6) 1976 Super Glide (Left with girlfriend, went away to work, she sold for dope)
(7) 1973 Super Glide (Sold)
(8) 1989 Softail Custom (Sold)
(9) 1991 Ultra Classic (Sold)
(10) 1989 Ultra Classic (Sold)
(11) 2002 Ultra Classic (Ol' Maudie)
This is to the best of my recollection, absent any transactions conducted while I was in a "Black-out."  I assure you, Lessons were learned on my part.  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] Later--HUBBARD

6 different dirt bikes, sold or traded for dope

71 Honda Trail 90
76 Super Glide
85 Low Glide
93 Low Rider Convertible
00 RoadKing Classic
02 Screaming Eagle RoadKing
03 Screaming Eagle RoadKing
06 Screaming Eagle Ultra Classic

To be honest I have enjoyed every bike to the fullest but each new bike I bought I like even more than the previous, so I guess the MoCo has got something over me.

OK, here goes.

Honda XL something was the first bike. Rode on and off rode..it was a blast!
I think I got (don't laugh) a Rebel for a bit.
Honda 750, 4 cyl. thing hauled me to college
Next came a V-45 Saber...FAST! (sold after crash of the next bike)
Cop-Kawi....crashed...BAD! (off duty-in uniform...funeral service)
After some time away from 2 wheels, I got a 95 Sporty w/ fatbob tank and fenders and WG frontend (I still have it)
95 Classic was next...added a CB/Intercom to make it an Ultra..ish. (it's for sale)
now my 06 SE Ultra..love it!
