Getting close to 40,000 miles on my bike. Starts and runs great. Nothing to complain about. Original 77 connector. Original fan.

Great to see! Enjoy and ride safe. Uly's are special, fun bikes to ride, for sure.

It probably runs so good because I don't try to see how much abuse it can take. I don't cross streams with it unless there is a bridge. I don't try to see how fast it will go because I don't care. I don't go mudding it up in a wallow until the fins are packed in mud like some of the pictures I've seen here on BadWeb. I don't wash it either because I want the electrics to work for the long haul and also because washing is too much work. The hp it came with is quite enough for me and I certainly am not going to chase a couple of more and end up asking for help on this forum to un-screw up what I 've done.

Great to hear!

When you are having troubles and reading forums every day it sure is great to see a ray of sunshine!

It is important to remember that these forums are where people go to get help (a lot of the time) and like watching the news things can seem pretty dismal sometimes.

Thanks for the good news story!

Don't worry, it will get even better as you approach 60,000 miles!

I like and agree with your motorcycle care philosophy. If it works don't mess with it. Don't squeeze it for more than you need. Conservatism can be a good thing!

I resemble this...

EG this has the making for a thread called: "You Might Be An Old Fart If:"

You might be an old fart if you agree with any of the above...

Another thing that I really like about this ULY is that it fits me like a well worn glove. I don't have to horse it around like many of the bikes I have owned. Some folks don't get the ULY's looks but I certainly do. I've always thought it good looking bike. As for those who don't get it, they are usually non-riders anyway and their thoughts count for little to nothing.

The Uly makes Spongebob look like a contender for Mr USA. Has a build quality worse than a Hyoongoo type bike. Handles like a drunk turd and has no dealer back-up because there is none any more.

















And with a bit of luck all the "hot dogs" will have gone by now and I can get a good bike.

The Uly is the best-looking bike in the world!!
