After you get home and look in the mirror, that grin on your face won't be frozen on therefrom the tempeture.
It's the only thing you get free from HD.

We'll need some pictures.

Picked er up Saturday...32 degrees outside, but loved the hell out of it!!..can't wait to get back out...

Coming from the Buell, I can't get over how smooth the motor is..and how comfortable the ride is...couldn't be happier!

It's been sleeting and raining since Sat nite..I'll try to get some pics up by the weekend.

thanks!

Congrats, from a fellow denizen of the People's Republic, Marty. Great choice. Ride safe and have fun, it'll be spring before you know it. OBTW, get yourself a battery tender for the winter months. It'll save you a bunch of aggravation come spring.
