Smile Breakout

Jumped back on it tonight for a couple hours through some back roads through some horse country with another fellow coworker and I tell ya, I didn't want to come home. Now just sitting back enjoying a good cigar and wondering why the hell I didn't do this sooner....I did notice my headlamp seems to be lighting up the trees more than the road on dim. Guess it needs a little adjustment. Again...to me this bike just looks...badass! Couldn't stop looking at it while we stopped for fuel.

Great feeling isn't it!?

I love the way it rides and can't help but admire it every time I stop.

Been 3 weeks since I last rode mine bc of the accident and I going crazy not being able to ride but I'm going back home next week to visit family and I'm gonna take the bike with me so I can go against the Dr.'s orders and I'm gonna put some miles on the ole girl!!!

reading all of your replies and brings a smile on my face... I know the feeling you all are talking about as this is my first Harley but I have been riding sport bikes in the past years... been out of it for around 17 years but since getting this bike , its a whole new feeling ... whether it be a short 20 min ride just to blow off some steam after work or a 4 hour ride ... its all the same ... cant stop smiling...

Enjoy and ride safe
