    • CVO1: 2007 FLHTCUSE Screamin' Eagle Ultra
Hi from Cape Town, South Africa
« on: September 13, 2011, 04:55:50 PM »

Hi to all CVO owners,
My name is Eddie and I from Cape Town, South Africa. Friends also refer to me as Ed, Doubledee or uncle.
I'd been in a bike drought for 8 years until I bought my first HD, a 2006 Sportster a year ago as an introduction into the world of biking.
It wasn't long after riding the Sportster that I got reeled into the HD lifestyle and before long I committed to a beaut of a Heritage Softail, pewter silver, whitewalls and dripping in chrome.
As 90% of the riding I do is together with my wife, my eyes soon started straying to the Ultra Classics because of their inherent comfort, spaciousness, gizmos and security.
Roughly six months after the Heritage, I sat on a white and silver Ultra Classic at a dealer function. That was the turning point. The moment had arrived-no turning back.
One thing led to another and the next morning I was introduced to my latest baby, the 2007 Screamin Eagle Ultra Classic Electra Glide-Black Ice and Electric Orange.
Without a blink, we traded the Heritage and the CVO was prepped with new tyres, serviced and handed over to us in a few days.
We are over the moon with this bike-it is absolutely stunning in all aspects.
CVO's are reasonably rare and expensive in South Africa which makes us doubly proud to be an owner.
I look forward to reading all the interesting communications, advice and tips on the site and hope to make some new freinds.
all the best and safe motoring to you all,
Eddie
