Default Bought First Harley

Finally! After months of looking The agony is over.
Now it's not the bike of my dreams. It's bearly a HD for some. But it's something I could easily afford at $3299. I've been having a blast riding it

Looks 100% HD to me. Nice color too, and congrats on the purchase. My first HD was a Sportster and I sure had a blast riding it.
