Default RE: New Harley ?



That's the pic I took the night I brought her home. I rode her right through the house and into the addition I was building!
I've made plenty of changes to her since then. I agree...Ride for awhile then you just KNOW what you want to change. My first change was a MORE comfortable seat, and sissy bar for wife. Now she's bored of riding (plus it's a biiiitch to get a sitter for the baby) so this spring I'm switching to a solo seat. The rear fender is way to nice to be hidden by the passerger seat!

Its been said their are two types of riders, those that have dropped it and them that are waiting to. Guns, as you've got it behind you, dont be afraid of it just respect it.

Well got her out today and drove down the alley and back to the garage a couple times. Just practicing working the clutch & throttle. That will keep me satisfied until this weekend when I take the Safety Course.
