Default Finally did it
I am about a month shy of being a member here for two years. I have three posts,(this is 4) and all of the posts asked questions about three different bikes. Fatboy, Softail custom and a Road king. Well after walllerin around for two years today I crossed over from a metric to a Harley. Tomorrow I will pick up a 2010 Scarlet red Heritage Classic. I took advantage of Harley's comparable trade-in and bit the bullet. I love the red, I have a 2008 Pontiac G8 GT that is liquid red so now I have a matching bike.
I didn't ride for almost thirty year and started back in 04. The last three bikes I have had are two Hondas and a Yamaha, all liquid cooled so this will be my first air cooled bike since I was 14 years old. Any advice will be appreciated.

You'll never forget the feeling of the rumble beneath your seat, and the sense of pride riding THE American Standard bike

Yup! Advise: Ride it like you stole it!

I'm pretty new to HD also ('09 Road King Classic. My girl has '08 Deluxe). And I am finally happy!

Welcome aboard! You won't regret it!

P.S. She has been warned: Drop it at the stoplight one more time, and it will become a show bike! LOL!
