Didn't make 50K miles, but almost.
« on: March 16, 2011, 06:14:51 PM »


The miles were rolling up.
What to do?
Other than the "limp mode" issue the 09 SEUC has been running good (for 30,00 miles) since 19900 miles when the front exhaust valve guide slipped.
With Motolights, trailer hitch, cams, sequential tail lights, HogPod, TB and a few other items of issue I knew the ESP wouldn't work for me.
Then I heard the news, news that said a Harley takes a big dip in value when it crosses that 50,000 mile threshold.
What to do?
I really, really, really like that new 2011.5 SEUC in Blue.
So it was time to pull the trigger on the 11.5 Blue.
So I stopped the mileage on the 09 SEUC at 49,960 and it will become history.

It's beautiful, even on a cloudy day.
But when the sun came out it sparkled.

I'm not sure if the paint is perfect but I couldn't find any flaws.

Weather permitting I will bring it home Thursday or Friday.
Didn't quite make 50K on the 09 but it was a fun ride to the end.

Most of the time!  ::)

Congrats are in order Chip..  From the title of the post, I'm thinking the motor let go!  Happy it didn't and it was for a new bike.   Looks great.  :2vrolijk_21:

When does the trailer go to the painter?    :cherry:
