Default First ride today

Finally got to take the first ride on my new FLSTC today...Love'd it, better than expected. It was only 36 degrees with snow still on the sides of the road but I enjoyed every minute of it. Now I can't wait for things to warm up a bit so I can take a long ride........

I remember my first ride on mine a few years ago. I had the wife and kids behind me in the truck on the way home from the dealer. Was about 10 min. in to the trip home and a young gal gave me a wink and a smile. I thought "well it was fun while it lasted." It rained the rest of the way home. When we got home, my wife just laughed about the gal, and wanted to know when we were going to head out on a ride. I think I sat in the garage and just stared at it for weeks after I got it.
