Default Pulled the trigger on a Deuce

Finally became a Harley owner. Started with a Triumph years ago then went to Japanese bikes for years. Gave up riding for a long time but got the hankering for a Harley when I turned 50 (go figure). Instead of buying one then, I held off for a year and in a moment of unbridled passion (my wife turned the magic number that no one speaks of) I decided to spend my Harley money on a Mercedes CLK320 Convertible for her.
I just couldn't wait anymore. The time was well spent researching every model that they made. Looked at them all and decided on the Deuce. Almost bought a Switchback but opted for a good clean used bike instead. Now I'm working through the importation process to get it here to Canada. Can't wait for the snow to melt so I can go riding.

Just got a figure out a way to tell my wife..........

Good for you. Nice to see another Deuce in the family. What year did you get? We like pictures so let's see some when you get the bike across the border.
