Good luck Mike! You are the guy we all believe we would be if we didn’t have to pass it by the little lady before spending thousands of our hard earned dollars. Probably won’t be your last Harley.

She’s definitely a keeper, never a negative word when I do all this crazy ****. Will probably change immediately if/when we get married. But I’ll deserve what I get lol.

Yes Sir, he is. Just saw him this AM. He definitely is a good guy. We have a similar warped sense of humor...
