Default New Bike
Picked up my '05 Heritage Sofftail Classic yesterday. What an incredible experience. Came back to riding after 30 years, about a year ago on a VTX 1300. I'm glad I got the Honda first. Otherwise, I would have always wondered if the Harley was worth the extra $9000. It is and then some!! Would post pictures but it says my JPEG file is too big.

Congrats on that new bike! You have many miles of enjoyment ahead of you. Now post those pics! If you are being told the pic size is too large, open up the pic in your photo editing software, and resize it. 640x480 works the best. Do a search in the help on "resize"...let me know if you can't figure it out.
