Ultimate Cycle - the Sequel (August 7, 2013)

 Got the call this morning, the Vulcan is ready and this time they said it is fixed for sure! Went to the dealership about 10:30 and got the bike. Repair (which was for the same leak) was no charge- took the time to thank the General Manager (who is a great guy) and rode the bike down to the storage place (which can be seen in the photo below). Due to work soon did not ride it far at all, and have it sitting on a clean piece of cardboard "just in case" but think it will be fine this time. They replaced the part that was leaking not just the o-ring this time. Hopefully it will do the trick. 
Love the Vulcan, and up to this point (purchased in 2005) no problems with it. Nothing though is trouble free forever, but my motorcycles over the years have been (with a few exceptions) the closest thing to trouble free (certainly better than most of the cars I have owned). Once I got the bike stored away after a too short ride down the Midlothian Turnpike, walked back to the dealership to get the car and go home. Nice day at least for that...under 90 degrees and low humidity. Good to have it back and looking forward to some really great rides again. Fall is not far away, and that is some of the best riding of the year, and this will be the first fall in the RVA on the motorcycle. Looking very, very forward to seeing some new sights, and getting to do it with my girlfriend (who by the way rides a Harley-Davidson). So....here we go again !
