Default First Harley
I finally purchased my first Harley (first highway bike for that matter) a very clean 1998 Fatboy,and take delivery Thursday. My brother (rides a 2006 RKC) took the day off and we are planning break in ride to the Big Hole Valley, not much traffic but lots of scenery. Been waiting a long time for this and Thursday cant get here soon enough
