Hey Clayton, Came across your site and have enjoyed the responses. I currently ride a 1994 Harley FXDWG that I bought almost 5 years ago with 13,000 miles which now has about 37,000 on it and is completely stock (As I write this, it is November 2007). I've ridden her from LA to San Francisco and back (Actually about 100 miles north of SF for a total of 500 miles one way in a day). Three times from LA to St. George, Utah in one day (400 miles one way and usually in the middle of summer at 100+ degrees) Once to Yosemite from LA - and many, many shorter rides with no problems. I had one trip coming back from Joshua Tree to LA where my alternator went south (Boy was that an adventure because there weren't any shops open on Sunday) but that was it as far as trips go (Knock on wood). One thing I have had problems with is a leaky inner primary seal going out on me and as I type this, she is in a local independent shop being fixed by a guy that I trust. This is the 3rd time this has gone out and the last two were "fixed" at a Harley dealership - everything else is oil tight. Overall I have been really happy with her and is actually very comfy to ride. I'm 37 and have been riding bikes since the age of 10 which includes everything from Japanese to two vintage Triumphs, that come to think of it, never left me stranded and had I feel more of a "cool" factor than anything else I've ever ridden. I keep up on the maintenance on her so I am going to push for a 100,000 or more miles before any kind of tear-down - hopefully my motor was built by a guy/woman who wasn't hung over the day he/she put it together. Remember folks, these bike are assembled by people, look at the union sticker on your down tubes. Oh yeah, just finished a 400 mile roundtrip from St. George, Utah to Laughlin, Nevada and kept right up with my buddies riding 96 inchers - did I tell you how much I love my Evo Wide Glide??

Best,
Fitzy
