Default I did it!

I finally pulled the trigger and got a Softail Deluxe!
My first bike ever! I am so excited and cannot wait to get on her tomorrow and fire her up.

2007 with 2000 miles. Pearl Black with a pair of V&H Big shots. I am so jacked up.

Pooch

congratz and good choice. Just take it slow. Ride her when you can and get comfertable with her. If you can swing it I took my dealerships riders edge course because its now required by texas law to take one to get your license. It was worth the time and $ for what i got out of it and provided a good basis for getting back in the saddle again. That being said there is no replacement for seat time.
