Default Made Switch From Sporty To Dyna

Yep. Was time for my next bike. 2017 leftover Low Rider in Velocity Red. Wow. What an upgrade. I'm a Dyna guy. I'm hooked.

Added a quick detach windshield today. Looking at bags and will add an engine guard next. Seat back for wife's peace of mind when she starts riding a little with me also.

Read a lot of the Dyna forums leading up to this purchase so thanks for everyone's unintended help with this purchase. Just a weeks worth of riding this bike tells me I will take my riding to another level.

2007 883. Really enjoyed it. Never forget my first. My background is aviation. New pilots need to learn in an underpowered basic airplane to where you have to really pay attention to power management and the fundamentals . This one kinda did that for me.

Nice bike! You've done well - let the mods begin. I wanted a Low Rider, got a Street Bob. Not that I'm complaining.
