Our
previous scooter which was a 2004 Electra Glide Ultra Classic FLHTCUI
which
unfortunately was totaled on June 16th 2005
On
the upside we learned Harley's can take one hell of a hit.
|
June 16, 2005, our bike got totalled along with a few parts of us. It didn't look like we'd be donning any riding gear for the rest of this year due to one really bad insurance company (Progressive) and their slick adjusters. Did you know Progressive Insurance Sucks Click the link and we'll show you how we know that! |

WoooHoooooo!
on the road again |
|
|
Unfortunately they don't make the two tone red and silver color scheme for 06 so out of all the colors Harley was offering we finally settled on the pearl white. As you can see in the photos thanks to Progressive we lost out on the best riding months of the year because at this point fall has arrived. On a good note at least we're not going to miss out on the beautiful fall colors.

Thanx to the folks at Boswell's Harley Davidson in Cookville, TN, our new scooter is here.
It was supposed to ship out from York, PA, on September 15, 2005, and arrive at Boswell's on the 20th but it somehow got lost somewhere in between. It finally arrived on 9/22 and it only took them a day to get it assembled which also included changing the stock mag wheels over to the wire wheels and get it prepped. After spending the morning with John and Charmienne Pohlman, who stopped by on their way to Oklahoma to John Spurlings Fly-In we didn't get to go to, Donna and I pulled out about 10am for the 164 mile round trip to pick it up in Cookville, TN. The trip back with a bum leg was a bit of a challange. Fortunetly I only had to make a few full stops along the way but I made it lol.
The only downside to the folks at Boswell's is the cheap buggers didn't give us that thank you card and that Certificate of Motorcycle Origin leather booklet Killer Creek Harley did. We also found out we got screwed out of a few more items that our old bike had added that we didn't even know we had. We had assumed that everything on our old bike was factory. Come to find out Killer Creek must have dressed it up some before we got it. So far MIA are chrome axle nut covers, optional rear view mirrors and a chrome handle bracket for the rider to hang on to, adding probably somewhere around $250.00 to our loss. Donna and I spent the next several days installing the add ons we bought on to it.
This time out we installed hooker muflers because they had adjustable baffles in them. We thought by adjusting the baffles we could achieve different tones (higher and lower) but alas that wasn't the case at all. When we opened them up the engine ran poorly. It would miss not to mention backfire quite a bit. So far in an effort to get the engine to run smooth we've ended up all but closing them up. Tone wise there is no change what so ever throughout the entire adjustment range from A to Z.

A joke, well maybe it isn't a joke, for ya's lol
The inventor
of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson, died & went
to heaven. At the gates, St Peter told Arthur, "Since you've
been such a good man & your motorcycles have changed the world,
your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want to in
heaven." Arthur thought about it for a minute & then
said, "I want to hang out with God." St. Peter took
Arthur to the throne room & introduced him to God. God
recognized Arthur & commented, "Okay, so you were the one
who invented the Harley-Davidson motorcyle?!" Arthur said,
"Yeah, that's me." God commented, "Well, what's
the big deal in inventing something that's pretty unstable, makes
noises & pollution & can't run without a road ?!"
Arthur was
apparently embarrassed, but finally spoke, "Excuse me, but
aren't you the inventor of woman?" God the said, "UMM,
yes." "Well," said Arthur, "professional
to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention :
1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end protrusion, 2. It
chatters constantly at high speed, 3. Most of the rear ends are too
soft and wobble too much, 4. The intake is placed way to close the
the exhaust, 5. And the maintenance costs are
outrageous!!" "HMMMMMM, you may have some good
points there" God replied, "hold on." God went
to his celestial super-computer, typed in a few words & waited
for the results. The computer printed out a slip of paper &
God read it. "Well, it may be true that my invention is
flawed," God said to Arthur, "but according to these
numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours!!!".
END
