Default New Ride

Well I went and did it. I let a Softail Deluxe follow me home and I decided
to keep it! It's a new to me 2012 Big Blue Pearl with just over 1,000 miles
that is quite the charmer. I've been riding metrics going on eight years, all were very understanding and dependable bikes for me to learn on. I'm new to
Harley and I'm sure questions will come up with the bike from time to time. So
I'd like to introduce myself and let y'all know if I can't find answers to my
questions from existing threads, I'll post a new one. lol I've seen some
beautiful pictures on this forum and can see there is a lot that can be done to one's bike. I am so going to enjoy this ride....

Ride safe everyone!

Congratulations. The Deluxe is eye candy for those who like the 'retro look'. Ride safe. Post a pic of your new money pit.

I am sure all of your bikes were great but I think you will learn that the other bikes you had did not speak to you like the Harley will. There is some sort of Harley magic going on when you ride one.

Congrats.
