Default My dream at last

Eventually after many years of dreaming I have now picked up my first Harley. Unfortunately snow and freezing conditions arrived but didn't stop me riding the 140 miles home from Edinburgh. Very bloody cold though....
Not sure whether my smile was frozen on or I was just happy as a pig in sxxt.

Congratulations! Even though my first Harley was bought in 1983 or so, I still remember that feeling!

Leave it stock for a bit and just enjoy the feeling whenever you can get it out on the road.

Congratulations and welcome to the HDF! The Harley is worth the wait. I hope when you took 'er home after the very cold drive, you sat down, warmed up, had a Glenlivet scotch and thought....life is good.
