Default Independence Day
Picked up my new Street Bob yesterday and I have put about 150 miles on so far and think it is great. I am a new rider at 47 and could not be happier.

I tested my handling the montana way. We have a herd of mountain goat that like to stand in the hwy about 4 pm every few days or so. Went from 75 down to 25 lickety split and just casually rode between them no worries. On my softail I would have splattered myself and the herd . I love this bike. I have been smiling every time I ride mine. Congratulations again. Great way to celebrate the USA's independence.

Here in New England the pot-holes appear to be a bigger risk than four legged obstacles...and at least they don't move on me. I am new to riding and can just not get enough...VERY pleased with the bike and believe I made the perfect choice for me...and starting off picking it up on Independence Day weekend certainly seems appropriate!
