Nice write-up. I have friends with the Heritage-Softtail (?) series that love 'em and ride serious miles. Of course, like everyone else, I have friends (of various make) that IMO let their motorcycles gather too much dust.
What caused the spark plug to blow on the other bike? You're wife deserves credit, I might be a little jumpy if a spark plug shot out past my left ear!! In fact just hearing about that gets my attention.
