VERY nice!!!! I still remember my first real bike...an 03 WideGlide-black and silver. I let it go and I swear, sometimes if I think about it too much I catch myself getting kinda depressed about it. I LOVE my 07 StreetGlide, don't get me wrong, but I don't get quite the same thrill out of it as I did with my WideGlide. Guess the memories of the first thrill I felt when I was on itthat year is more precious than I realized. Kinda like yer "first love" I guess. Enjoy the new scoot!

Thanks a lot guys, riding has got to be one of the coolest things I will ever do in life. It feels good to be able to have this bike at 20 years old. I guess all that hard work in tech school paid off. lol I got another 50 miles on it today. I can see I might need to look into another seat.

I got my WG there in March of 05. I bought from Kale but he was kind of a dipshit, they guy in charge of service is cool.

Don't worry yet about the new seat thing. First get some miles on it so you know exactly what kind of seat you want. I had about 7000 miles on mine before I got the HD touring seat. (My wife wanted it more than I did.)I would have prefered a solo seat.

Anyway, keep the rubber side down and have fun with that awesome bike.
