Default First Ride!!!
Just got back from my first ride and I cannot wipe the you know what eating grin off my face. This is my first softail and man is this bike smooth. It almost rides itself. Only put 35 miles on today so I didn't really get on it too hard. The big radius pipes sounded great with the baffles in but I will be taking them out soon. All in all I couldn't have picked a better bike for me. At 5'9" this bike is perfect for me and the black pearl in the sunshine was something to see. The 6th gear indicator light is a cool little feature and that extra inch they took out of the suspension was just right for me. Man what a great day.[sm=partyparty.gif]
