Default Traded Up

Hi All,

Well on April 8, 2006, I turned 40 and picked up my first ever motorcycle. 883 Custom, Black Pearl. Really enjoyed those first 700 miles. Well today my wife, who by the way works for Harley, talked to the sales manager and it looks like I will be trading up to a Vivid Black Street Bob. I went on a couple demo rides a few weeks back and the big twin is where I want to be. They just make high-way driving a breeze, the Sporty was pushing her limit. I will post pics when the new lady comes home.
Thanks

Dan Dombrowsky
Goffstown, NH

P.S.
Really enjoy reading the post here, it helped make this trade up alot easier.
