You can't justify spending $36K for 2 wheels, 70's technology, and at least $5K more to make it right.
We are some sick puppies.
Getting along fine with the new bike Ken (knock wood).. New owner of my old bike had her burn to the ground.
Absolutely can't justify what we spend on these bikes...Well other than the smile factor. We do it because we can and we want to.
I'd read where your old bike burned. Sounded like he decided he needed the mola geetus more than the bike. That's a shame. Hey...missed you in MV this year Bob.
Glad to hear you're doing good with the new bike. I traded in a red 09 SEUC with 5,500 miles. After getting the RG, I find myself just not wanting to ride the Ultra anymore. Hopefully I'll like riding the Ultra RG as much as the RG. I don't expect the Ultra RG to be as much fun as the standard RG, but, it should be more comfortable for trips etc. We'll see.
