September 12, 2009. Wife and I boarded a Jet in Columbus, Ms and flew to Tulsa Oklahoma to purchase the bike at Route 66 Harley. Years back like 2009, you had to be on a list to get a CVO touring bike, They didn't sit around on the showroom floor like they do now. I had called many dealers to get on the waiting list for a FLHTCUSE4 Twilight Blue and Stardust Silver. And then one day a salesman from Route66 Harley calls me up and said that he was getting the first one to come in there, but after thinking about it, that it just wasn't going to be fincanially good for him to make the move on it, and told me that I could have it if I wanted it. So of course I jumped all over it. So when it did arrive, the wife and I flew to Tulsa and rode it home. And by the way, it was the first time I had ever ridden an Ultra. I remember it was the day that Hurricane IKE was approaching the coast of Texas, Wind was blowing in Oklahoma real hard, but we got out of there around noon, spent the night in Arkansas, and rode on into Columbus, Ms the next day. Several of our friends met us in Tupelo Ms, about 60 miles from Columbus to escort the new Eagle home. What a memory. And yes I still have it, 48,000 miles and wouldn't trade it for nothing.
