Default My first Harley!
I got my first Harley! Probably a million of these posts but if how ecstatic I am can somehow seep through the interwebs and help make someone's day a bit better helping them remember theirs, I'll be cliche and post it.

I've been searching for the past week. I drove 2.5 hours to visit a few dealerships. Turned out the one almost closest to my current home was the right one. I ended up not getting a new Fat Bob or Fat Boy, but that's quite alright. Looking forward to riding this until, well, forever I hope. 11 years in the Army and more coming, it was finally time to get myself one.
