Ever since we sold our '04 Heritage Classic 4 years ago, my wife has not really enjoyed going on rides together. I thought that the BMW GS was fine but after a little questioning it seems that the GS is just too tall for her and that I ride it too aggressively.
I had no idea that she felt this way.
After some prodding, she admitted that she missed the Heritage and would like to ride on the back of a Harley with a trunk that sported a wrap-around back rest (tourpack).
Now I am not selling the GS since I really love that bike! Adding anther bike to the stable was the only option.
Thus began my weeks of perusing CL, ebay and cycletrader.
Her stipulations were that it had to be a Harley and it had to be red although she would allow for variations like burgundy and maroon. We looked at the new bikes but for our intended weekend pleasure riding, we just could not justify the cost.
I finally found a bike that we both liked at a reasonable price and bought a two owner 1998 Electra Glide Ultra Classic with 48,000 miles. We have already put over 200 miles on this last year evo and I think that it will work out just fine. Best of all, the little lady is happy.
Here are a few lousy pics from just after I unloaded it this past Saturday:
