    Congrats! Is the full story posted somewhere or would you like to post it here? I'm interested as I have an '05 purchased in late November last year and have already had some things break down that I'm glad I had my warranty to take care of.

    I have done modding to suspension and under carriage after having 100K. I have added new wheels to replace S-heavies and my most recurring charge has been for tires. I even replaced my brakes with Wilwood and TCE BBKs. I have changed the oil regularly. I bought him new with 12 miles on him.:D:Thumbsup:

    VERY cool. I'm sure you've been through many of the same woes we've all gone through, but made it through that. Congrats again!

    Congrats on the big feat with Harley. I just joined the forum and you are my first communication. I also have an 05, mines an MCS. I only have 39k on mine as its basicly mt 2nd car as I have a company car I use durring the week. I plan on keeping mine for a long time. What pointers do you have to shair that you think contributed to your "long term success"? Also, what areas would you suggest to focus on keeping an eye on?

    I have been watching my odometer and eagerly anticipating making this post. While driving to work December 22, 2010 my 2003 R50 turned over 150,000 miles! The car has been absolutely trouble-free with the exception of the right front wheel bearing. It continues to run great, just as it always has. Of all the cars I have owned, this MC is by far my favorite!

    Do you know why Harley Davidson doesn't make a refrigerator?

    They can't figure out how to make it leak oil... :D

    Congrats on the milestone! :Thumbsup:
