Default 1st Harley you ever rode?

For me it was a 1964 Harley Davidson Scat! A buddy in school owned it and we swapped bikes one day!
What was the first HD you owned or rode?

2000 883 Sportster, first time I rode it was while I was riding it home. I hadn't been on a motorcycle in 10+ years, and even then had less than 5 hours experience. I'm glad I made it home.

Why the sporty, of course, in 1980 or so. I haven't worn it out yet so I'm hanging on to it.

1973 FLH after we did a frame off on it. I think it was 1992-1993.
