Can't believe how nice our bikes are! 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago  
It's been about a month since I took the bike out. Partly due to schedule, excessive smoke from the fires, christmas, and just been plain cold! Yea, been down to 60 some days!!

Just dusted her off and fired her up. Can't believe how much pleasure it brings to just open her up and let the horses run. She roars for more as if to say, "bring it on". So much care free, flawless, strong, full of life pleasure this bike brings me. This is the best bike I've ever owned.

Thanks for letting me share!

Looks to be a '99, or at least the tins are! They are a true joy, aren't they? I love 'em!!!

I have a hope for the same... but, isn't it liquid-cooled? If so, I'll stick with our old air-cooled orphans.

I feel very fortunate to have grabbed a 2003 108 Patrick Racing Big Bore several years ago. Wire wheels, high compression, HSR 42 and cam is all I ever wanted. The seller had very few hits and next to no interest in the bike when it was listed.

Being a member of the forum educated me as to what the bike is all about so I bought it. At 61 soon to be 62 with developing health issues, most likely my last bike.

The bike and forum I consider a unit, one would not exist without the other. Our bikes are great for sure, and in time a collectible.

Nope, they are air cooled as well

Very cool! Air-cooled that is! Whenever these new ones start showing up as used... especially if they wrap a cruiser around this engine, I'll be very interested... as long as it not too refined and smooth!

A 2001. Bought it used in 2005 with 8800 miles. Speedo stopped working at 76,000 miles 4 years ago. Probably have over 100K on it by now.
