Default Traded in the Sporty for a Street Bob
Been lurkin for about a year now, was riding a 2002 Sporty, traded the wife in on a new set of freedom last summer, so had to get a bigger bike to celebrate. Got my 2008 Dark Blue Denim Street Bob a little over a week ago. Had the forward controls put on immediately. Morepicsto come as i finish mods. Gotta get pipes, stock are too quiet!!

I looked at the pics before I read that it is blue denim. I just thought the light was hitting it oddly. That is a great color on that bike. Congrats!!
