I think that's a Ural. 2 wheel drive! Very cool adventure hack.

That's me, on the left, on my 2010 Road King Classic. I love that bike. I've also owned a 1200 Sportster and a 1990 FXR Super Glide. Not to mention many dirt bikes

Sweet ride, Mike.

I should've got one of those instead of the Night Train. The wind & lack of storage gets annoying on long rides, but I can't get the racing around out of my blood quite yet. Actually now I could because I have the RD or the XL to race around on. Still on the fence on whether or not to sell the 'Train this spring. Market really took a *censored* these past couple of years. Prices are down the toilet. Plus all the new stuff is 6-speed & 96 inches - tough to compete with that with an 88. Probably better off just keeping it, I think.

Good, then stop competing & just lay back & enjoy every now & then.

Seems like I've uploaded these before

Nice ride Mike. For the record, she's titled a 78 1/2 FXWG--I built er from box's way back. PS, remember SMITTY, I said, every now & then

Smitty, I'm not sure you would take that bad of a beaten on the Train if you did a Pivate sale. The whole black out theme is back.
Freetownfred.....That's old school baby!! Nice looking ride

I hear ya Fred.

Gotta do that more often. I think I put 20 miles on her this year ...

I had it up for sale this spring for $10,500, but the problem is the economy is so bad there's guys dumping '09 Fat Boy's fully loaded for that price. Newer Night Trains with built engines & thousands in accessories were also in that range. Pages & pages of nothing but Harleys .... eBay was no better. Kept getting offers for $7 -$8k, so I yanked the ads & kept it, at least for the time being. I'll make my mind up by this coming spring I guess. Depends on the finances. Paid over $13k for it in better times ....

That must really hurt your ass riding that FX.

And stop with the 1340--we speak AMERICAN where I come from.

For the record, that would be 80 c.i.

Not too bad...you just have to be a little tougher than most

Bought this new in 1976...saving it in case I need it.

Under wraps in garage with 1500 miles on it...some day I'm going to roll her out for giggles.

No way!!

Only time I ever saw one of these in person was at school in Phoenix. They had one in the classroom, along with a few other rare models.

I like rotaries as much as I like 2 -strokes.

That thing is worth a LOT of money if it's been kept out of wild temperature swings (no rust).
