I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaack...
Well, I did it...I traded in my 2012 Heritage for a new 2014 Lowrider. 
This bike is awesome...I think I'm in love.
The 91lbs. weight difference is soooooo noticeable, it handles like it's on rails but I'm a bit concerned with it...it tracks true and straight and when I take my hands off the bars, it doesn't lean to the left...I mean, what's up with that!
I'm a short guy at 5'6" with a 29" inseam...when sitting on the bike at the dealer it felt good with the seat pad on, but on my 3 1/2 mile ride home I felt really cramped, so I removed the seat pad, made a slight adjustment to the bars, changed the shift arm position and slightly raised the rear brake pedal and it rides great.
It had 7 miles on the odo at the dealer and now has a whopping total of 41 miles.
I think I'm gonna play hookey at the gym tomorrow and go riding instead....................
Anyways, I'm stoked to be back on a Dyna...I thought I had lost my passion to ride, but I was just riding the wrong bike for me.

I didn't take time for any pics...was too busy riding. I'll post some pics tomorrow. It's the silver/black color and for now is bone stock including the reflectors.
They did agree to take the Kury lay down plate from my Heritage and put it on the Lowrider.
The salesman took a crappy phone pic and emailed it to me, maybe I can figure out how to post it here.

Thanks for the welcomes...it's good to be back with the Dyna group.
I forgot to mention...the wind was blowing at a steady 15-20 mph and at 60mph cruising I didn't even miss the windshield, hell it felt good!!!!
I can't wait to put some more miles on it tomorrow...did I mention how well the bike handles? lol
