I've heard guys say when you find your bike you just know. this was the first time i ever experienced that. and now i'm an owner of a Softail that is older than i wanted, with more miles than i wanted,for more money than i wanted to pay. but i could care less, because its what i wanted and it makes me smile every day

There’s a lot to like there, beautiful…great find!
