Default RE: Your First Harley

My first Harley was a 1937 Knucklehead chopper. 16" over springer, suicide clutch,a$$ scratcher, spool front wheel, peanut tank and tangerine metalflake. Wouldn't turn, wouldn't stop...God I loved that bike!

Default RE: Your First Harley

I came back after 15 years not riding due to living in New York City, Brooklyn and Staten Island (they're crazy there). When I moved out to New Jersey, I bought my first Harley, below. I was between a Fatboy and a Deuce. I love my bike - nicely moded to my taste (chrome, C&C custom single up seat with stiching to match the bike) but not overdone. It's about riding and the friends for me - don't need a 260 out back, or every piece of chrome to make it fun.

When the divorce is over, I'll celebrate with my second Harley...
