Congrats on your new ride, it is nice that you and your husband share a common interest. My wife and I have been riding for the past 9 years together. She started out small, a buell blast, graduated to a V-Rod and now has a 2009 Heritage. We have so much fun on the weekends getting out to different places. Keep the shiny side up and enjoy....

Thanks.
I wanted to get something bigger. I loved my Sporty, but I felt that for the longer rides a bigger bike would be better. Plus once I saw the Slim, I had to have it. Just riding from the dealer home, I felt a big difference in the handling of the bike and the ride. Now I know I can stay with the rest of the crew (who all have fatboys). LOL

You'll definitely do more than just keep up. Enjoy the ride. Ride safe!

Congrats on the new ride. I like the theme on the sporty, from a fellow cancer fighter.
