Even tho' I read all the posts, I wasn't going to post because I don't own a cafe bike, even tho' I like them. But, everyone is posting with all kinds of bikes, so I'll jump in. Been riding for 44 yrs. Not continously, but have had a bike of some kind most of that time.

Current ride is a '05 HD Wideglide; in 5.5 yrs, I've put 42K on it. At 7K miles, I took it from 88" to 95", 10.5 cr forged CP, big heads, S&S .585 gear drive cams, roller rockers, etc., etc. Best Power Commander numbers were 102 hp and 103 tq. After installing HD Race Tuner and a little dyno time, its 107 hp & 107 tq at the wheel/tire. 35K miles later, its still running strong as ever, and I beat on it hard! Rode it to/from Sturgis twice; once solo, once w/wife, pulling trailer behind bike for all her stuff! Fall '09, we rode to/from Smoky mtns/Gatlinburg/Dragon, etc.; 2,900 miles w/wife and trailer behind bike.
