When I was a wee lad, living on an Air Force base I used to go the store and look at the Harley Mags (was Easy Rider around that long ago?) and drooled over the chicks in the mag and the Super Glide.

Well I haven't had the opportunity to take any long trips in about 35 years when I went Houston to Boston and points north back to back in 75, and 76. Then I did it on a CB450 and a Z1. I would have given my left one for a bagger but it wasn't in the budget. (Truthfully, it still isn't in the budget.) -- 74 CB 450 - Stolen; 74 Z1 900 - Traded; 76 FX 1200 - Stolen; 78 FX(E) 86 CI - Daily rider nice weather; 02 FXDX 88 CI - Daily rider other weather

My first Harley was a Low Rider - kinda like a lowered Super > Glide with more chrome. I loved the ride for around town, commuting, > weekend rides with the clubs, but I sure like the FLH on long rides. There was an early lowrider that I lusted for. It was a gray color, had red lettering, I think, raised white letters on the tires and was the coolest thing in the world. -- 74 CB 450 - Stolen; 74 Z1 900 - Traded; 76 FX 1200 - Stolen; 78 FX(E) 86 CI - Daily rider nice weather; 02 FXDX 88 CI - Daily rider other weather

I'd consider checking this one out for you. If it is really something you like and in your price range, I could have it checked out, you could fly out, and ride it home! http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/1637117409.html Tim |
