2003 HARLEY DYNA-LOW RIDER FOR SALE 2-7-2011

My friend, Pat, contacted me the other day and asked me if I would help her sell her Harley. Her schedule is such that she just can't ride it as much as she thought she could. So scroll down and take a look-see at Pat's Harley and contact her if you are interested. REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURE BIGGER, JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURE.

Pat's Harley is a 2003 Anniversary Edition Dyna Low Rider. It has been garage kept and is a little dusty because I got over there before she could hose it down. It is in excellent condition and has no marks or scraps on it and has not been dumped or dropped. The right side of the bike is pictured above.

Another angle of the right side of the Low Rider

A front view of the bike


The odometer reading. This bike only has 11,437 miles on it and I believe that makes it a LOW mileage bike as far as the bank or Credit Union is concerned if you inquire about a loan for this bike.



The emblem on top of the gas tank.




The emblems on each side of the gas tank





The air breather. This is an 88 cu. in. motor and is carburated. That means it has a choke and is not an EFI engine.


The bike includes a detachable windshield (on the bike), a detachable luggage rack and back rest (not padded) and she has the passenger pegs if you want to attach those.
She also has a new set of handlebars, if you want a different feel when you ride.



Also included is this Harley Davidson tour pak



The Harley bar & shield logo



Another view of the tour pak. This slides down over the back rest and can be adjusted so it does not fall off.
So, you have a 2003 Anniversary Edition Harley Davidson Dyna Low Rider, with 11,437 miles, an 88 cu in carburated engine, passenger foot pegs, detachable wind shield, detachable luggage rack & back rest, an extra set of handle bars, and a Harley Tour Pak. Pat is asking $10,000 for it all and if you are interested in this Harley and have any other questions about it or if you would like to buy it, contact Pat at: 940-636-1873. This Harley won't be available long so call her today.
Scroll down for more rides, events and runs and remember to click the OLDER POSTS at the end of EACH page or directly underneath the last post on that page for more of the same.
Please continue to pray for ALL of our troops both in & out of Harms Way, especially for Che Whitaker and Chris Drage both of whom are serving in the Afghanistan Theatre of Operations and for Fred Hughes who will be deploying to Afghanistan later on this month for his second tour in the Middle East. His first tour was in Iraq.
Until next post, ya'll be careful out there, keep the rubber on the road, keep your head on a swivel and most importantly of all..............RIDE SAFE................................JOHN

THE OKLAHOMA RUN PART I 11-29-2011

On Saturday, 1-29-2011, we had a ride up into Oklahoma where we would go to Mount Scott, Chaps My Ass and the Riverside Cafe in Medicine Park. Scroll down and join us on Part I of this ride and REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURE BIGGER, JUST CLICK THE PICTURE...



We met at the El Mejicano Restaurant parking lot at I-44 & Missile Rd, here in Wichita Falls Texas, with the staging time of 9:30 a.m and departure time of 10:00 a.m. Here are some of the bikes that were there when I arrived.



We leave the staging area and headed North on I-44. Here are Charlie & Brenda.


Here is Randall on Northbound I-44 (actually it's East bound I-44, but we stay on it while it's still heading North)



Here is Mike as we head North on I-44




Here is Louis as he heads North on I-44





Here are Honda & Austin as they head North up I-44




Here is Janis as she heads North up I-44




Here is Matt as he heads North on I-44


Here is Doug heading North on I-44



Here are Dennis & Moe as they Head North on I-44


This is Robert, our leader for today's ride, as he heads North up I-44.




We wait on three bikes in Chattanooga Oklahoma. We lost our tailgunner, Jim J., somewhere along the way and Lance & Pattie turned around to go look for him and Charlie & Brenda were losing power after they hit 60 mph, so they turned around and went back to the Red River Harley Davidson dealership in Wichita falls. We didn't see any of them the rest of the day. We did meet Jim M in Chattanooga and he went the rest of the ride with us. See this link for the RRHD dealership:

http://www.redriverharley-davidson.com/ Above are Matt & Doug as we wait.



Left to right as we wait in Chattanooga Oklahoma: Austin, Moe, Honda (behind Moe), Randall and Mike


This is Mike who was with the Green Knights. The Green Knights Chapter 54, from Sheppard AFB located in Wichita Falls, also had a ride today and they pulled into the station for a break while we were there. They came up the same route as we did and they did not see any of our folks along the way. So.......



Our group at the Fina Station in Chattanooga Oklahoma



Some of the Green Knights Chapter 54, at the Chattanooga Oklahoma Fina, that were on their ride going to the same places we were, by the same route.




We pull out and continue on our way. That's Randall in front of me and Honda & Austin in front of him, then Doug, then Janis and Robert.. Robert is up front...




Behind me are: Dennis & Moe, Mike, Louis, Jim and Matt. We are just entering the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, which is open range. That means there are cattle, longhorn steers and buffalo roaming freely about. I have been up here and buffalo were walking right down the highway.




Up front back to me are: Robert, Janis, Doug, Honda & Austin and Randall. We are heading East on OK49 enroute to our first stop, the Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center.



Janis and Doug park their bikes at the Visitor Center.


Randall & Dennis talking and Jim behind Moe at the Visitor Center


Doug and his brother in law, Louis, at the Visitor Center. For more on the Visitor Center see: www.fws.gov/southwest/refuge/oklahoma/wichitamountains




Austin & Honda at the Visitor Center. Both Honda and Austin are members of the local chapter of B.A.C.A. (Bikers Against Child Abuse). For more on B.A.C.A., see this link: http://www.bacaworld.org/




Austin and Honda's B.A.C.A. back patches.




Doug and Landon. Landon was a visitor at the Visitor Center and wanted to sit on a Doug's Harley. He fit perfectly in the passenger seat behind Doug.




We left the Visitor Center and headed down OK49 to our first stop, Mount Scott


With Robert leading and followed by Honda & Austin, Mount Scott comes into view.

Behind me, as we close in on Mount Scott, are: Dennis & Moe, Randall, Mike, Jim, Matt, Janis and Doug. Janis was going to try riding her bike up to the summit of Mount Scott for the first time EVER!! We were all pulling for her.


Robert and Honda & Austin approach the entrance to the winding road which would take us up to the top.




And we start up. Robert and Honda & Austin are up front. I told everyone that if I went over the side, not to worry about me or my bike, but find the camera because I would click that shutter all the way down and there would be some hellacious pictures on the memory card.




The others behind me heading up Mount Scott




The view off to the right of our bikes as we rode the twisty road up..



Coming up the grade are: Dennis & Moe, Randall, Louis, Mike, Jim, Matt, Janis and Doug.


We get to the top of Mount Scott. Here is Matt




A happy Janis and Robert at the top of Mount Scott.. CONGRATULATIONS JANIS!! We're proud of you!!

Robert, me and Dennis at the top of Mount Scott




Dennis, me, Janis & Robert on Mount Scott Summit.




Robert & Janis on Mount Scott with Lake Lawtonka behind and way down below them. That stretch of ribbon off to Janis's left is OK49, the road we were on before starting our upward climb to the top of Mount Scott.



Robert and Janis on the observation deck atop of Mount Scott.


On the observation deck on the top of Mount Scott: left to right: Robert & Janis, Jim, Austin & Honda and me.


Our group on the observation deck on Mount Scott. I took the picture of, from left to right: Matt, Mike, Moe, Dennis (kneeling), Robert, Janis, Jim, Austin, Honda, Doug & Louis


First time since about 1976 that I have seen a Law Enforcement vehicle on the top of Mount Scott. I think this was a U.S. Parks & Wildlife vehicle.


Well, what goes up, must eventually come down. We start our ride back down Mount Scott. Louis is waving and being followed by Mike, Jim, Matt and Randall.

In front of me are Honda & Austin on their Harley, with Dennis & Moe in front of them. Robert's already made the curve.. A couple of turns down the mountain, the inevitable happened to me. My camera slipped out of my hand, bounced off the gas tank of my Harley and down onto the roadway, bouncing downhill next to me while I tried to get stopped. That event will be covered in Part II of The Oklahoma Run.

Still heading down Mount Scott. Dennis & Moe followed by Honda & Austin. Mount Scott is only 2,464 high, small by mountain standards, but it's the only one we have, so.......

Bicycles riding up as we head down. Robert is up front, followed by Dennis & Moe and Honda & Austin

The others close in: Louis, Mike, Jim, Randall and Matt is behind Mike but can't be seen. This will conclude Part I of the Oklahoma Run.
