New to Harley at 58
After decades of mostly BMW's, i bought my first Harley (a 2016 Street Glide) on a whim while on a bike trip (here, take this one, and give me that one please). It sure looked good.
It's not like I don't know what an HD motorcycle is, but owning one now is a bit weird, I gotta say. Sounds great, looks the part - but so far, I'm not convinced. I'm already looking to upgrade the seat, suspension, windshield and audio -- for a start. On the other side of the coin, don't personally need any more power out of the 103 -- it is what it is and even after owning multiple screaming Euro bikes, the juice outta this HD engine seems more than plenty to me.
I'll be roaming around the forum, asking questions, because I'm sure I'm not the only guy who's (ahem) noticed where these bikes could use a little help. I'm not a bike newbie and the guys around here sure as heck aren't either..........
Anyway -- thanks for all the help I'm about to ask for.............
