Default Got my bob at last

Well, it was worth waiting for, its the best 9k i have ever spent on a bike.
After riding a 1500 wing for the last 9 year, the bob felt like a push bike, except it goes like, s-- of a shovel, and handles better than i ever imagined, just clocked up 300 miles on some nice twisty scotish scenic coastal roads, and best of all the sun was shining, and im still grining like a cheshire cat [sm=smiley14.gif]
Im off to work now, then out to play again as the sun is shining today, i have change the pipes again, from the black se11s, to a set of crome harley nearly straight throughs, which makes it sound like a harley should.

Well done Stew - it is a long hard road waiting for the baby to arrive. I KNOW - 5 months for me, but it was worth it.

Congratulations on the new bike. I like the look of the black mufflers. I think you need a bigger license tag though. LOL

Congratulations on finally getting it! You've probably got some of the most beautiful countryside in the world to enjoy from the saddle.

I really like the black mufflers. Have you considered removing the heat shields and wrapping the headers in black?

I have the black slip ons also, they look great. Is that a license plate or a sissy bar?

It's a shame when reading your post that we don't get to hear what I'm sure is a great Scottish accent. Around my neck of the woods anybody who talks about a Harley sounds like, " Hey buuddy ya gawna gitya sum pyyps fer-at thang?" It's cool that the Bob has that world appeal. Congrats on your new tavern hopper.
