Default Why did I wait so long?

Here is a picture of our new to us 2012 FATBOY. Road it home today just before the snow started and that was my first Harley ride ever. How and why did I wait so long in my life to do this. It felt incredible and all the people looking...probably thinking about the nut riding in the 35 degree weather but it sure felt like they were looking at my "FATBOY" baby. Keep walking out to garage just to look at it, "man what a feeling".

That was my exact question to myself when I bought mine. All of those years gone by and I could have been riding.

Congrats on your new bike, now open the wallet and let the fun (mods) begin.
