Default Good news bad news


First the bad news. last week I sold my first Harley which was a 2007 883 custom that I had done a lot of upgrades to. was very hard to see it go. Now for the good news today I purchased a 2018 Softail Street Bob. I pick it up Friday I cannot wait to ride it. I am so excited I outgrew the sportster very fast. But will miss it.

Your new bike you'll have to get "used to."
PLP is always the best way to get acquainted with a different bike. Don't be afraid to practice what you learned on your sporty. Ride safe!
