Bought my own first bike in 1970-Honda CL 100. Since then I've bought and ridden 9 more. 7 of em HD's. This bike here give me more riding fun than any other I had.....cant believe how smooth and ez it handles.

 

Nice lookin' bike. It's real old school.

 

Now get that rear lowered and lose that gap, and she'll be perfect.

 

Bike looks great! I wouldn't lower it at all. Love that seat

 

Nothin like a Softail

 

I with you tagalong, I've owned all models of Harley's over the past 25 years and the softail is the best.

 

Before I even clicked on the link to this thread, I already had a feeling you were talking about a Slim...

 

Welcome from Norcal & congrats on your bike.

 

best bike for me has changed along with its intended purpose. At one time when i was young, dum, and fulla crap I would have sworn it was my wheelie monster yamaha RZ 350 2 stroke. As time passed and I grew up a bit I thought there was no better ride than my Road King. Made for a great 2 up ride with the wife that allowed us to do a bit of shorter distance touring. Then she got her own and 2 up riding was less important so I went with a softail. Im on my 3rd softail now and don't look back. Perhaps some day Ill graduate to a geezer glide but I'm not rushing it. Never will I go to three wheels. At that point Im thinking it just may be time to pack it in. Although i have been tempted to test ride one of them Can Am Spiders.

 

I wouldn't lower my suspension in Boston. Monster potholes.
Cool looking bike.
