Default First Harley and First Post!

Just picked up a 2016 Street Bob this morning! I've always rode metrics and never was really bit by the Harley bug. After riding the Street Bob I now get what all the fuss is about, this thing is Badass!!!!!!

150hp @ 12k is nice, but 100tq @ 3k is better.

Ahhhh yes... Have fun!

I miss the smell that came off the engine for the first hundred or so miles.... Seems like yesterday. With all the mods I've done in the last year, oddly, I kind of miss my bob in its stock form.


El Cajon.... Looks like you'll have a 300+ day riding season!

Yep, it's got that new bike smell. San Diego is a great place to be for riding year round.
