Default Finally Fat!

Enough lurking, I finally picked up my Bob (Black Denim) last Friday and have been trying to put some miles on it. I've been following the forum for a couple of months now while I've been waiting and the cost ofthe bikehas increased accordingly! I changed my mind numerous times on the options but finally settled on the 103" Stage 2 kit, Heavy Breather, V&H's Big Radius and the SERT, I figurethe wifecan only burn my stuff on the lawn once right? I just picked up the Sundowner seat but will have to wait for the weather to clear up before we can test it; they're forcasting 2"-4" of snow tonight!!?@*!! Spring, can't live with it, can't skip past it...

I've had lots of bikes before but this is my first HD, what a BLAST!! It's all testoserone, loud and torquey... I don't know what they're like stock but even with the breakin tune, it's got a lot of jump!

Mark...

Geek!
Nice Bike! And congrats. Been a long time coming I'm sure. When I took my first test ride on a Harley, I realized what I was missing out on and got one. I have since traded that one in for my 08' WG and am really pleased. Stage 2 huh? Damn, that is just sweet, My wife almost had a fit in the finance office, so there was no way I was getting any goodies. So I will wait and be jealous of you. How are the BR's and do they sound great?
