Default Bought my first HD
Over the weekend I purchased my first HD. It's a 2003 Electra glide standard. High miles with 60k but it's in great shape and I only paid 4k for it so I think I got a deal. Runs and rides fantastic!!

4K isn't bad for that bike man.

I've got around 60K on my bike, **** starts to break or leak or whatever but just fix them as them happen and it'll keep on truckin'.

I will indeed. I was told by the previous owner that it has had the cam gear conversion but I will want to verify that for myself.

Great bike ....very good deal IMO....I've got a 99 ultra 75k on her still runs really well.. the early tc's have been much maligned....but they seem to keep on running.. as long as good maintenance is done... much like anything else.... reminds me.... need to check my tensioners........ride safe and often..

Sounds like a good deal. My 09 ultra classic has almost 106,000 miles.
