Default First FXDWG (with Pic)

I just bought my first Wide Glide.&nbsp\\; I sold my Softail Custom last year and have been regretting it lately.&nbsp\\; Summer weather is here and fuel prices are skyrocketing.
&nbsp\\;
I couldn't resist this one.
&nbsp\\;
If anyone is familiar with JEG'S high-performance auto parts then you may have heard of the founder, Jeg Coughlin Sr.&nbsp\\; I bought this bike from him.&nbsp\\; It's a '96 that he bought new and had in Florida for a few years.&nbsp\\; It had 1,480 miles on it when I picked it up on June 5th!&nbsp\\; Here's a pic:

your right its a wideglide, i think down the road you will be glad they were one of if not the most popular bike they made, its so easy to make it a chopper, or bagger, and since they stop making it, they will in time be worth a little more, standard softies are all over the place

As much money as I spent with Jeg's back when I was drag racing, Mr. Coughlin should have GIVEN me that bike instead of selling it to you. [&:]&nbsp\\;[sm=icon_rofl.gif]Haha, nice bike man, and congrats!
